saturday/Sunday plans 6/25-6/26

Good morning! The main goals for this weekend is to make sure that things get watered completely and continue to clean up our garden centers. 

1. Do not trust the stores watering. It is our product and we need to make sure that it is getting watered to our standard. Hanging baskets should be watered, up and under to get under the flowers, until water starts to run through the bottom. Patio planters should be doing the same. All of it, really. Water evenly and slowly over flats and 6/8pks 

2. Condensing seems to be a big issue lately. Most stores are not going through their proven winners and garden exclusives to condense and pull out bad product. Some product has been overwatered and is very yellow and some has been overwatered and has rotted. Some has even been underwatered and is now a crumbly mess. These things should not stick around. 

3. Even if you aren't changing the displays, you should be cleaning them up so that they are straightened and appear full. 

Last weekend, I came back from my first full two days off. There was a lot of product that didn't get watered in multiple stores because we aren't taking the time to weight check everything. Just lift it up from the bottom and confirm it's heavy. Get it watered. I can excuse a messy store - I cannot excuse a dry store.
