Re: Re: HYB: 101: Basics

Betty will post picture in small pots couple weeks before I line out. and
one of the day I lined them out. Going to Hidden Acres Garden tomorrow and
will take camera to post one of them now.

I had a SDB that had 8 increases in August and by fall it had 32 fans 5
months from seed. It did not increase like that after I lined the clump out.
Composted it. Most of the TB's have 3 to 8 increases by fall 4 or 5 average.

You read it right about 80% first year bloom. It has worked 3 years in a
row. Of course I have several that take 3 years to bloom.

Forgot I also put 1" to 1 1/2" manure in the bottom of pot. Just used the
bagged kind this year. I have lost about 3% to rot.
