| You say you use 3 -5 seeds per cup. Do you thin out (cull) the weaker ones, or transplant them all? How long do you wait before you transplant? |

I just received some hybrid daylily seeds from Hemlady and am excited to read your article. Now I feel more confident in starting the seeds! Thank you!  Marta - Rambling Rose of the wildwood. |

kytnbabe - Good luck with the seeds. I've grown some of Cindy's (hemlady) seeds, too, and have gotten some lovely bloomers!   Just make sure that you don't keep the seedlings too wet. I typically water once or twice a week in the Winter months. And I do add a little H2O2 to the water to prevent root rot.What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us. Garden Rooms and Becky's Budget Garden |

Thank you Becky! We have a small greenhouse and I'm wondering if the seeds would do well there or if they need the warmth of the house over the winter. I'd also like to know what liquid fertilizer you prefer. We have Miracle Gro on hand and my daughter has Fish fertilizer.  Marta - Rambling Rose of the wildwood. |

| I am not sure about the greenhouse because heat does help them grow. I grow mine inside on a sunny south window sill during Winter (which I have a sheer half-curtain in front of the window and the cups of seedlings behind the curtains so that they do not get burned by the sun coming directly through the glass). I typically use MiracleGro at 1/2 strength. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us. Garden Rooms and Becky's Budget Garden |

| I have to ask, are you from or located in KY or TN ? Good luck with your seeds, they should do great. Bee Kind, make the world a better place. |

| Teresa - Good question as the location could play a factor in growing them in a greenhouse or even sowing them directly in the ground. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us. Garden Rooms and Becky's Budget Garden |
