They are in a raised bed that is nowhere near full or overcrowded - so they have plenty of room to grow. (unlike my other beds, which are full before I even start planting in them)
The Bartzella was expensive compared to the others I purchased, but since I picked it up from Mama Jacks cubits co-op, I didn't feel it was too expensive compared to the cost of it anywhere else. And the roots were AWESOME.
Great advice here, thanks so much everyone. And Brian, thanks for posting the photos ~Jan
