Re: planting out seedlings

Leroy, thanks for the clear and explicit description of your planting techniques for seedlings.  I shall save that for future reference.   My experience with missouriensis was the opposite of yours:  it was among the pots that came through the mean Iowa winter with flying colors.  The difference may be that mine was growing in that pot most of the summer so had time to develop its roots.  Siberians have done the same.   We're colder than you are, too (zone 4 here, and I know your climate well, because I was born and grew up in the Yakima Valley) which would put more stress on the seedlings, I would think.  My missouriensis seeds came from Colorado, so maybe they grew on the cold Rocky slopes in climate similar to here, though almost certainly drier.  Anyway, thank you again.
