What a Monday

It was warmer than expected when I woke up this morning, but shortly after arriving at work that warm weather turned into a day long rain which quickly cooled things down.  However I started a new department today, propagation so was able to be out of the rain!  What a day on propagation most of the day was spent cleaning canna tubers and repotting them for winter I also did some salvia cuttings for next years supply.  The big story at work today was someone dying at Kew gardens just outside of London.  A tree dropped a branch and it landed on one of the garden visitors and killed them scary to thing that a garden could be such a dangerous place.  To be safe Wisley closed their pinetum so they could inspect the trees and make sure no branches fell on our garden visitors.  Also at work today it was announced that an older woman had lost her husband who had alzheimers they were suppose to meet up and he never showed so the garden went into hunt down mode for an old man in a tan jacket, wearing a hat, and glasses.  About a half hour later over the radio they announced he had been found and husband and wife were reunited.  The whole time he as in the plant center waiting for his wife.  Not sure who needed finding the wife or the husband but they found each other eventually with a little help.  So the day was rather eventful and fun besides the rain but I didn't have to contend with it too much.  I am looking forward to my second day on propagation tomorrow who knows what they will have in store.  Hope everything is well with you wherever you are and watch out for large trees they may have falling branches.
