I'm aware of the cell packs needing more attention but I don't plan to keep what's in them in there very long. The maples need cold to germinate so they are in cell packs until I see green then as soon as they are big enough to handle I'll transplant them to larger pots. Normally I would just stick them in the ground once they get their second set of leaves but that's not a good idea around here since someone keeps coming to our property away from the house and digging up stuff. The maples are meant for an area just before getting to our house and I sure don't want someone digging them up before they get big enough to deter such activity.
The butterfly bushes also need cold but those will be potted up to bigger pots because they grow extremely fast for me once they take off.
I'm checking for a deeper container for other seeds to winter sow.
