If you do yours this way I think you'll have some really nice products for your event.
Sounds like a good plan Jerry. The only problem is the sunshine. I have 52 flats of 24 -4 inch plants each on my patio right now due to the torrential rainfall. not supposed to be better until Saturday. I went to the gym on Sunday, came home to plants drowning, we couldnt find drainable trays large enough so we are using Costco cardboard boxes with a plastic trash bag around them for the bins. No drainage!
Frantically searching the web for plastic trays that will fit our size requirements. It is a challenge!
I am digressing, sorry.
Too late go order seeds, but Iwill buy some at the garden store.
