On 5-27-2018, planted 7 in the alley near the raspberries.
MrsBinWY On March 25, 2018 Potted up
11 - Only 3 or 4 look very good. The seedlings weren't growing well in the milk jug. A couple might be blind. One hadn't grown roots (just had the two cotyledons). Not sure if the sun room is too cold for them at night or what the problem is.
