<< We will transplant seedlings during bloom season (April) giving them

stalks per seedling and more increase. This might mean we can get the
selected seedlings from this group into the catalog a year or two sooner. >>
The trying and erring process is continuous. I made what I thought was a
successful change to transplanting my seedlings LATER last season. Less
first year bloom but less transplanting mortality.
