I'm eager to see my seedlings bloom. (Aren't we all) As stated, I had all 
seedlings that were large enough in the ground by June 1st.  The seedlings with 
the highest priority, yellow/red plic, were planted first back in early to mid 
May.  I was steadily planting at every opportunity.  That first cross is MUCH 
bigger than the rest. Either it is more vigorous than all the rest (doubt it) 
or the ten days to two weeks made a big difference.  

The second bed I planted is just setting there.  I've used pre-emergent on 
both beds but wonder if it could be having an effect on the second bed.  (Or is 
it the time difference)  I put the preen on the second bed as soon as 
possible.  But the first bed grew up a little, then I used round up on it and put the 
preen on it later.  

I'm happy that the favored cross is growing so well, but disappointed that 
the others aren't doing as well! Still, with a little help from Miracle Grow, 
I'm hoping for enough growth for bloom in the spring.
