Re: Seedling Xchange

Consider this an (inadvertant) planting experiment. Just plant the
leftovers right next to the earlier transplants and keep notes on which
ones ultimately do better later in the season -- have more, bigger,
healthier or earlier fruits, etc. Then you'll know what to repeat next
year. I, too, have newly-seeded cucurbits (summer suash, in my case) that
are looking MUCH more vigorous and strong than the transplants I seeded
inside back in mid-March and coddled along. Ditto the sunflower seedlings
vs. those just coming up from seed.
