Karen, I planted in 6"pots with up to about 25 seeds per pot. All germinated in April; nothing in the Fall. I mulched with pine needles after the ground froze.
Gale, I also have been giving these babies 3-4 doses of alfalfa meal, sprinkles of epson salts and lots of milorganite plus an 1" of water weekly in hopes of encouraging growth. This is today's pics. The ruler is 12". A couple have 2 fans starting.
Being old and looking for easy this seems to be working? I'm going to tree mail Sue to see how her plants started in the winter compare. I've heard Curt Hanson in Ohio starts his seedlings this way? Your's planted in the fall of 14 bloomed some this year? That's impressive!
