I think this is kind of a cool idea, helps get a little insight into what our online personas are doing when we're not killing time in the Peach Pit. Mine isn't very exciting but here's where I spend my time in the swamp:

Stock lawn seed mixtures ready for pickup/delivery:

Grass seed mixing machines (2,000 lb. capacity on on the right for lawn seed and sod mixtures and 500 lb. capacity machine on left for conservation, pasture, wildflower and golf course greens mixes. Stack of empty private label bags in front for garden center customer.):

Pallets of peas and beans (These piles are a lot lower than I'd like them to be-should be halfway up the wall all the way around. Good that we've sold more but I like to have a full year's supply on hand going into the next season in case there are short crops):

Climate-controlled seed storage for high value and otherwise volatile germination varieties (50*F and 50% humidity year round):

Hollar Packaging equipment for putting seed into retail packets (hand built in Germany through the late 50's, still the industry standard):

Bins of flower and vegetable seed for customers (walk-in farmer and gardeners as well as for shipment to dealers, co-ops and other seed companies. General Rule-the smaller the bin, the more expensive the seed.):

Small salesroom for commercial customers and the occasional retail customer that wanders in (need to fix that sign that fell down in the middle ):

Loading dock (almost) stocked up with fertilizer ready for lawn care, sports turf and golf course customers:
