Sorry this took so long. We had several days of rain & then I just plain forgot.

Here is a picture of my little seedling bed. It is 3 feet x 3 feet I think. I have 16 different crosses in there.

Here are a couple of pictures of seedlings and the labels.

The first picture has 3 seedlings and the second has two.

I started out with 1-5 seedlings for each marker. When they were small I covered the bed to keep the squirrels out. But I had to uncover it this Spring because some of the seedlings were getting very tall. The squirrels came & destroyed several seedlings. They also dug some up which I saved but may have been replanted by the wrong marker. So now I have 1-3 seedlings per marker. Hopefully many of these puny guys will bloom next year. But so far I think only one has a second fan. As each blooms they will get their own marker with an individual number. If they are too close to a sibling I will move them after they bloom.
