Emily, this stuff just had to be done. And as for yanking, replacing things, if they don't measure up, they're outta here. Wintersowing has shown me that I can so easily replace things that don't perform well, so that's what I do.
I wish I had a few of my wintersown seedlings in the ground. It's getting pretty hot for transplanting them. It was in the 70s today, supposed to be 80 tomorrow. Rain is predicted for the weekend, maybe I can transplant a few things between showers. I love that, always makes them do so well.
Of course, the night before last it was 32° with heavy frost, so go figure.
Do rudbeckia goldsturm transplant well in fall? Mine is spreading fast. I was going to give some to a friend, but it's getting so hot, I thought maybe I should wait until fall? I got mine as a division from a friend in spring.
