Greetings and Happy Easter to All.
I sure am enjoying all the new contacts associated with this mailing list.
I'm employed at a local wholesale perennial nursery and as a side-line I start
perennial seeds for the same nursery. This is my second year to be a seed
starter so I'm still pretty green. Mostly my trouble is being with Lavender
and California Poppies. We discuss at the nursery why our Lavenders fail to
thrive. Germination is good and the young plants grow slowly, but do pretty
well until we transplant into gal. pots. Once there they simply seem to be
hanging-on for dear life, not thriveing at all. Sooo, we're running a
controled study experimenting with lime levels. Are there any Lavender buffs
out there who will share wisdom with me?
As for the California Poppies, they resist transplant so strongly that I'm
considering not doing them anymore. Can anyone help here?
Thanks a Bunch.
