Mona: The seedlings got potted around the first week of Oct so they are almost 3 months old. They would be bigger if I wouldn't of had to pot them first then plant them later, doing that set them back some because the roots got disturbed. I will take some photos of the others tomorrow if it's not raining. Some are a lot taller and the foliage isn't as wide. And some have shrunk a lot so I'm thinking they may be dormants or at least semi.
What do I feed them? Well, in the bed I mixed in alfalfa pellets, slow release fertilizer, lime, and chicken litter (I may have added some milorganite but not sure). Once they were planted I put down a little more chicken litter, slow release fertilizer, and some milorganite to keep the critters out. I did put down some Magic Carpet fertilzer which releases over 3 months. I added this because the Florikan slow release quits working when the temps drop below 70. I also use a water soluble fertilzer like Miracle Grow as well.
I went to Fred's today and his seedlings are huge. He needs to post another photo because they are a lot bigger than the photo he posted on Nov. 17th.
