When the little seedlings are an inch and one half to two inches high, I
sprinkle them lightly with Miracle Grow right out of the box. Then I turn on
the sprinkler to dissolve the powder. After lining them out, I continue to
sprinkle with Miracle Grow over the summer. Many now are producing side fans.
I expect most of the 2002 seedling crop to bloom next spring. Some rebloomer
crosses may send up stalks this fall(eighteen months from seed), never to fall
bloom again.
My 2003 seeds will go into the freezer this week-end and stay there until
November when I plant them outdoors in pots. The max I put into one pot is
about twenty-five seeds.
