We have an opened sided shed that we store the bulbs in. This allows for good ventilation and if needed we can use portable industrial fans. The downside is that we are much at the mercy of the weather and can't control the temperatures of the bulbs as much as is preferable. We figure this is much the way the bulbs will have it when they are sent to customers homes. We wouldn't want to send pampered bulbs that then struggle to survive fluctuations in temperatures.
This how the bulbs stacks are arranged pre-grading, on mini-pallets in labelled an arranged as per daffodil division.
After they are graded they stay in daffodil division and are then arranged in alphabetical order. They are arranged on shelves as close together as possible. The label also states the graded size of the bulbs. This is all done to facilitate the speedy selection of bulbs when orders are being picked.
Fine and sunny with a strong Northerly wind, max 32.5 C min 19.8 C. Today was spent continuing to grade bulbs and count wholesale orders. Three and a half bays completed finished of div 1& 2's then finished div 3's. Received registered letter from one of our wholesale customers today cancelling their order and that the new owner would contact us in due course. I was going to deliver part of their order today. Delivered part of another wholesale order and checked outt the lie of the land. Going down to Balnarring Beach tonight to set up our campsite and take the lasers to the yacht club.
