Okay folks. I planted my perennial seeds, now what?
I planted them in six-packs, and most of them are up. I've been told that they should go into a "nursery bed" for the first year, but I really don't have a good place to do that. Would it be better to go ahead and put them out in their intended spots, or put them up into bigger pots and hold them until next year? Should I wait until they are somewhat rootbound in their little pots to mess with them?
Germination has been interesting. Has ranged from nearly 100% (agastache) to about 5% (one digitalis variety). I'm wondering whether some of them just haven't come up yet (supposed to be "slow and erratic") or if I should replant.
Today, I saw the first blooms on our Zepherine Drouhin roses. My dogwood is in bloom, along with bletilla, late daffodils and tulips, wood hyacinths...the iris and hyacinths are about done. I believe spring is here!!
