I try to get mine lined out by mid-May. This year I did it on May 2
because the seedlings were big enough as I had sprinkled dry
Miracle Grow on the pots twice in mid-April and watered it in. I have
given them two more sprinklings of MG just before rains. They are
growing like mad. I am going to continue the feedings about every
two weeks and hope most of them bloom next spring.
