Chris,

I'm just wondering, do the seedlings get fertilized very, very lightly if you
guys at the greenhouse are doing it daily?  That may not be advisable for the
home gardener since the seedlings aren't being raised for sale.  After all,
when people shop for plants, they generally think bigger is better.  I think
that is what may drive the nurseries to fertilize their plants on an
accelerated schedule.
