I had the same problem last year...i ended up with 1000 seedlings!

It seemed a lot at the time,

but this year is worse...there shoud be 10 000 seedlings!

Time of replanting is approaching, and i won't have the courage to dig enough beds for them all.

The choice is going to be drastic:

Most TB X TB will have to disapear, they take too much room, and Holland is such a small country!

I'll keep only the small and middle ones, that have rebloomers in they ancestors.

That should reduce the lot by half.

I still have a month to dig...

i guess even the lawn will have to go!

In the past I had very poor germination. I had the pots sitting on a cement wall. This year I sunk them in the ground. During the winter I had nightmares that all would germinate ( around 2000 seeds). Well they almost have.

I do not have the space or energy to plant all of them. Which ones do I save?

This is as bad as trashing seedlings that bloom.

Example of the germination in photo!
