Mike, thank for your response. (on the preen) About the potting! Do you
just pop them out of the pot and plant soil and all? This is the way I was
doing it before I moved. Many that I transplanted here were done this way.
A friend of mine says he thinks they do poorly when planted this way . . .
something about planting the potting soil. I've a couple of 50 foot (double)
rows that I planted this way and they aren't looking as good (for now) as ones
that I planted bare rooted.
I'd decided not to pot any more. I've got plenty of space and a roll of
shade cloth AND it's been a mild summer for the most part. At this point, it's
extra work that I don't have time to do.
What has been the experience of those potting new arrivals for later
planting? I appreciate any and all feedback.
