We are planting lots of new babies out in the gardens this fall. Unfortunately it doesn't look like we will get all of them planted. I have never planted new seedlings in the fall or this late. We will see how it works out. I wish I could mulch them for some protection but our OK wind will leave most mulch against the first obstacle that stops it as it is blowing away. Ashton, (the Jr. Meteorologist) is forecasting no hard freeze before Thanksgiving. Normally that would be next week around here. (Meteorology in OK is like being a great baseball hitter, if you are right 30% of the time you are a great weather person.)
Back to DL seeds and seedlings, I just started using the big pots (gallon) and planting all seeds of a cross in one pot and going to the garden with all the plants together. I think that will be the plan in the future. As you can see there is no standard way or container size for us to start our seeds.
Fortunately about 80% of this mass of seedlings are now planted in new beds.
