Turbosaurus said:My lupine seedlings are doing great, best seeds this year. I have no idea if they will bloom, but they are rock solid seedlings. Planted 40 seeds have 20 babies


That _is_ encouraging and 20 sounds like a good number.

I will plant the lupine into 3.5" pots next weekend (they'll have over 500 hours of cold time by then) and will drop two seeds into each. I am hoping to avoid tap root problems by going a bit large on the container and then by ensuring that they are hardened and in the ground around the 18th of April.

I always lose plants during the hardening off stage - hopefully I do better at it this year. Sunburning young plants is way too easy.

The return of perennials in the spring can feel like once again seeing an old friend
