The Keukenhof in Holland has just started to plant 7 million
bulbs for
next spring.

There are 35 people employed to plant the bulbs.

So *each* has to plant around 230,000 bulbs within a few weeks.

I was hoping you would work out the number per minute based on a 37
hour working week and two days off for Xmas :-)

whoops all have to be planted by December 5th Jenny will explain the
significance of that date and there are only 30 workers in this report
so 233,333 bulbs each. About 2,300 a day each.

"De herfst is pas een week oud, maar in de Lissese Keukenhof zijn ze
druk aan het werk voor het komende voorjaar. Voordat de vorst
toeslaat, moeten 7 miljoen bloembollen de grond in. Deze week zijn
dertig medewerkers begonnen met het planten. Het werk moet rond 5
december klaar zijn."
