Hey pumpkin fam-

reaching out to see if someone can help offer insights on potted mum production.

We dabbled this year, made some crucial mistakes, but are committed to doing it better. Wondering if anyone in the community has experience growing potted mums from plugs and producing giant globe shaped, jaw dropping colorful pots.

please reach out via email: joeailts@gmail.com

Joze I haven't read it yet, but Don Langevin wrote a book on Mum production and sales years ago. It is cheap and might be worth buying.

Thanks, folks. I own Don's book. Some fundamentals don't change, some do. I'm looking for more recent perspectives on the newer breeds of Belgian mums, notably any/none of the pruning strategies necessary.

Ah yes, the danger of posting from two separate accts.
