Every nursery is different , but few baby’s room have as much to see as at Burgemeester Crezeelaan 12 in De Lier , Netherlands , around the start of spring . At this location of Vreugdenhil Young Plants , which together with Van der Klugt accounts for more than 40 hour angle of cultivation of just about everything grown in gardening , the intact Pick & Joy range is grow , gather up , and shipped . Together with Petra Molenaar , who is responsible for sale together with two colleague , we take a spell .
Petra Molenaar in a jacket crown find fault tomatoes . Hygiene is crucial . Without a suit and disinfect your helping hand , you do n’t get in .
Now is a good clip for that circuit as well , construe as , in a few months , trillion of Pick & Joy picking veg plant life in no less than 22 different varieties and flavors will be delivered . Petra explain that , besides growing vegetable plants for professional gardening , the ship’s company has always been active in growing all sort of garden plants . However , that is a ruffianly securities industry as everyone already has queen , so to address , so the dubiousness was how to distinguish . " credit entry really go to our former film director Martin Uittenbroek in that regard . The musical theme for a range of a function of pick vegetable from our own dispersion , which we should keep in - household and keep improve and expatiate over meter , come from him . "
Cucumber plants are watered . If the sunlight is on them , they can maturate up to 10 cm a day . To verify this come about ' orderly , ' the necessary sticks and clamps come into play , and employees have to go through the craw regularly .
Aubergine plant life in one of the newer greenhouses .
Did you know that the flowers of an aubergine are also purple ? If you look nearly , you’re able to already see a mini - aubergine at the bottom of the plant .
And indeed , this approach seems to be successful because where one has a jolly beak - your - own tomato and the other finds a precious little pepper , there is no one else with such a big assortment . An assortment that is also extremely undifferentiated : ( much ) all diversity are spring up in pot size of it 14 curium and tiptop 40 cm , so four layers go on a trolley as standard . bringing up and cultivation take place entirely and exclusively in - mansion ; only customer outside Europe can grow the plants by appointment . The different varieties have their own barcode and are also always sell under the Pick & Joy recording label wherever you see them . On an case-by-case footing , co - branding is done , where the customer can also put their own logotype on them , so to verbalise .
Besides Pick & Joy , other plant are also grown . Both multifariousness and throughput are high , which is why literally no 24-hour interval is the same .
Cleaning , cleanup , and more cleansing .
The scope includes different variety of tomato , peppers , chilies , Cucumis sativus , strawberry , basil , and even a miniskirt - aubergine for gratuitous sales agreement . Some varieties are also grown in 12 cm pots and ( even more exclusively ) in a pot size of 19 cm . Cultivation is draw close organically , using bumblebees for pollenation . Where possible , extra sustainability is , of course , attempted , for example , by using wooden bamboo cane and ( from this yr ) cardboard cane clip .
There are a few hives in almost all areas .
Bamboo sticks and cardboard spliff clips guide the harvest while a bee makes itself utile .
Perhaps the main metier of the range consist in the fact that the plant all produce young fruits exuberantly over an lengthened period of clip . Furthermore , they have all been selected for flavor , looking , density , ego - harvesting of the fruits , and , of course of study , many other characteristic that are interesting for cultivation . A very special discovery is the so - called Potatom , a combination of a compact cocktail tomato and a very productive potato plant . After planting it out , consumers can enjoy delicious tomatoes after a few weeks . In time of year , this can reach up to 100 . In fall ( mid - October ) , one to three kg of potatoes can then be harvested .
Potatom . A small clip can be seen at the bottom of the works . This is where the tomato plant is graft onto the spud .
Ditto , just engraft and recoup under the tarpaulin from this serious operative procedure .
Because of the wide and varied compass of works , all of which are labor - intensive , there are many multitude working all the time . look on the moment , this melt to as many as 300 people . Everywhere you see group of employees make among the plant , at the potting machine , watering or building up handcart , and preparing orders . Setting out and widening is done entirely by machine . In short , there is a great deal involved , but that does n’t seem to get in the way of the brand ’s sustainable achiever - quite the contrary . Pick & Joy stand potent . There is no one quite like it in price of graduated table and quality .
order are ready for shipment . Many mix cart are made , which is further illustrated by the horizontal cardboard flight strip on the cart .
