Roses we're talking about the squishable plastic cups.
Rick I was using the 6 cell packs - as I said, I'm hoping this new way will keep me from having to transplant into pots before they need to go into the ground or where ever.
The first picture is from last year on the 2nd of February. The second picture is what my potting bench looked like by March 1st and I hadn't even started the Morning Glory's yet. I think I grew about 30 MG's last year. They are always the last to get started because they pop up very fast and grow extremely fast then try to hug everything in sight. Trying to extricate individuals from each other and their victims without damaging anything is a nightmare. And yes I do start the ones that take the longest to germinate first.
I've also tried the using knives, pencils, screw drivers, pretty much anything I can find to punch holes in cups. The clippers or sharp scissors are the best way in my experience .. you don't really want to poke a hole, rather just cut off an edge at the bottom.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
