I had to watch John Paul II's funeral even if it was in the middle of the night!

I'm only a little weird, Rirchard! :P

Our shipment this week included 3 trays from AgriStarts I, to which I added 1 tray of pineapples from AgriStarts IV. This of course lowered everyone else's share of the shipping, which I have detailed in this update:
http://www.plantsthatproduce.com/Agr...2009_COSTS.pdf
Here's a few photos!
In the far left of the 1st photo you see the remaining plants from the second week of March. These are in two inch pots at the bottom of the plastic container. Some of the Kru's are over 1 foot in height now. Then, progressing to the right there are 3 plug-trays of 'naners sitting on top of the containers plus the tray of pineapples in the middle.



In this second photo, you see close-up from the opposite angle 24 whiny Colocasia Elena's and right behind them, some robust looking Ensete maurelli Red Abyssinians.

Not sure if it's easier...but I could find our how much my $1.30 could buy...maybe one of the extra TC plantlets or something... Of course that's the cost of the plant plus whatever shipping was, could work, I'll have to look.

I see my refund is $.33. I am very appreciative of you spending all this time with this project. Please don't worry about any kind of refund. I believe it is we, who owe you.

Keep any refund you've calculated for me, Richard. We owe you for your time and trouble as well as shipping materials, etc.

Thanks,

Harvey

Oh, come on. I thought it was going to be a great excuse to send all of you a fertilizer sample.

So anyway, the new TC's had mute indirect light yesterday (Thursday, day after arrival) and 5 hours of grow lights positioned 3 feet above today. The Ensete Maurelii's have grown at least an inch since Wednesday.

OK, thanks everybody. I just like to be up-front about the accounting instead of leaving it in a cloud of mystery.
