I was out in the beautiful weather we are having and noticed that some of my seedlings from 2017 are already starting to grow again. I noticed that a few of them are far outpacing the others. Of course, that is to be expected and looking at all the different stages of growth among the seedlings is one of the interesting things I do in the garden these days.
Here are a few outstanding seedlings just judging by the size of the plants:
Look how wide the leaves are on this one.('Gypsy Rose' Lee x 'Accent On Style')
Here is a group of seedlings that were dug up by critters and scattered around the garden along with the markers being dug and scattered also so no parentage known. There were 18 of them originally, only 15 left now, but there is one exceptional standout in the middle of the group.
I became a little alarmed after all the rain we had, so many of my seedling cups from last years crop planted in the cups had become empty. I was not sure if they had drowned or become dormant. Hard to tell in the photos the plants are so small, but many of the cups now have tiny new leaves popping up on a daylily basis almost. Some of the seedlings, even some of the beds seemed to be more affected that the others.
