    There's a term in the greenhouse industry called " There's a term in the greenhouse industry called "dipping" and it's the act of submerging plants in a bath of water with a mixture of nematodes (nematodes are like a little worm) and two specific strains of fungus.⁠ ⁠ Dipping is very important to our plants because it offers us the ability to protect our plants, making sure that we're not contaminating our greenhouse with any pests coming in on rooted plants in trays.⁠ ⁠ The process of dipping is an extra step and expense in the world of growing plants, but it's so effective. It’s a step we feel we can never skip.⁠ ⁠ It's all these little things that we do that makes us happy knowing we're growing a better plant for you.
    Our hours have been updated for April!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Here's what to expect when you arrive:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 😷 Masks are mandatory by the Alberta Government⁠⁠ 🧴We have hand sanitizer by the door, and hand sanitizer by our debit/credit machine 8️⃣ We have a limit of 8 guests in-store and are diligently wiping down counters/machines between visits. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Feel free to ask a Christie's Greenhouse team member if you have any questions or concerns.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Watch for updates on our contact page over at learnplantgrow.com
    👋🏻 Hey everyone, I'm back! I took a hiatus o 👋🏻 Hey everyone, I'm back! I took a hiatus over the last month because I've been so busy.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Growing season is intense - I call it my focus season, and it's like running a marathon.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ✅ We've been super productive (well the greenhouse crew has; I personally run around all day checking on the plants. From the outside I look like I'm wandering around lost).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 🌱 We've seeded and transplanted close to 100,000 plants so far and my job is to watch them closely. I watch their colouring, I watch to see how strong they are, and I watch for disease or pest issues.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 👟 Right now, I'm putting in between 10000-12000 steps a day and I've been up and down a ladder about 800 times so far this season. And that's just me, not including the rest of the greenhouse team.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Over the next few months we'll be sharing some behind the scenes greenhouse'y stuff that we've never released before!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ❔ Okay, enough about me! What have you been up to this past month?⁠⁠
    Did you know that we buy different bugs and scatte Did you know that we buy different bugs and scatter them/dip plants in them to control the pests that we don’t want in the greenhouse? Can you spot our little wasp? (Swipe over to see if you found it!). This little wasp is harmless to humans, her main goal is to find aphids, sting and lay an egg inside of them. The infected (parasitized) aphid will grow the next generation of wasp for us and by doing so dies and becomes a mummy. Eventually the new wasp will chew a perfectly round hole out the back of the aphid and fly off. Nature is beyond cool.
