Yeah, all the seedlings were pencil-size. All were healthy, it was my handling--or proper lack thereof--and the particularly brutal summer we had that lost most of them, so no complaints on that front. Of the seeds I bought, one set didn't germinate at all. I planted them out anyway hoping they are just reaaaaalllllyyyy slow in popping up.
But the other three did well. Will be a good lesson in patience.
