i decided that they'd be easier to keep track of in rows, so i lined them out in my seedling bed. i thought that i had a lot more than i did, sure seemed like it when i was potting them and watering them in the greenhouse! stakes and twine are up, plants are pinched back and mulched with straw. now on to other summer chores

i've only had them in my possession for a couple of weeks and one pot is already missing a tag and after accidently breaking off the two eyes on my wyns king salmon i found out the tuber was rotten...

Gardening can be frustrating at times. Steve S.

I got my 130 into the ground last week too. I pre-start them in gallon pots so most were a good foot or more tall, except some I got later in the springtime. I even ended up with enough space to pop in the ones that I rescued from the big winter freeze but lost the names to, so I hope I hsve some nice surprise visits from "old friends". Already have blooms on Ebony Witch and Star Child. They go into my personal garden where I grow the ones that I do not cut.
