Yes, I bought this with seedlings in mind after they are planted in the ground. They are new
beds, and have not been built up over the years like the other ones. Gotta get the soil tests
done.

The guy told me that it would help to take up the micronutrients existing in the soil.
I will make a list in the store of what products are available, and wait till I do my homework before
purchasing anything else with which I am not familiar.

Thank you so very much for the info you have kindly provided.
I appreciate your time.

Your welcome

Welcome Fred!! I sure hate to see the scape that popped. I havent had that problem so far, but with these high temps and lots of rain, I can see how it happens when a plant grows so fast.

I took a picture of a few of my seedlings that I'm going to post. The seedling is only 4 weeks old but I'm beginning to think about potting them up into 1 gallon size pots. I have 2 plants in most pots but I won't divide them. They'll get to grow together until I get ready to pot them into 3 gallon size pots.I hope I'll get to see them bloom before I pot them up into the 3 gallon size.

My question??? Are these babies big enough to go into gallon size pots??

Looks like most of them have their third leaf, I replant mine in the ground at five weeks old, looks like they are ready for the one gallon pots or anywhere else you want to put them. Nice looking group of babies mona.

Gave the seedlings some 15-0-15 yesterday, they just did not look as green as I like and with all the scapes they may need a little help. Also did the second spraying for spider mites.

Fred - would you be willing to start a new thread for "Seedling Progress" ? This thread is getting up there in the number of posts. After you start a new one, I can close this one and give a link to the new thread.





Juli

I will start a new on the next time I post.

Just thought I'd post a photo of the progress of the babies.

The first 2 photos aren't at quite the same angle but you can get an idea of the growth.

Here's a shot of some of the ones in the pots

Everything looks so fantastic, Michele!

Wow, that is a lot of growth in such a short time. They all
look really, really great. Don't you just love lush and green?

Beautiful Michele!!!! So much growth in such a short time. Your plants are really growing now. It doesn't take them long to recover from being moved. They must love their new soil.

You are blessed. Here's to a great bloom season. Blessings, Mona

Everything looks great. Really putting on the growth and the pots look like they could start blooming now.

There are some that just wants to stay small and I'm not sure why. It may be because they keep increasing and their energy is put into that instead of growing bigger and taller. I have some that may only be a few inches tall, but have 5-6 fans already. I'll have to take a photo of some of them today.

They look great, blooms are soon to follow.

Can't wait to see some seedling blooms, and I do hope you both will post pic's of your newbies. You know how we love that! And everyone else who has new seedling blooms too -- please post pictures!
