The spring season for nursery owners started last fall and ends in a flurry of activity as the new year approaches. Preparing for spring is easy for me once I've put in the right planning and the last of the crop decisions have been made. Computers help in preparation, but getting out and talking to customers to get a feel for the local economy is much more helpful. That's what I've done, and that's why I'm planning on crop increases of 7-8 percent through spring of 2011. This may seem optimistic, but the crops have been committed!
