There is never too many questions MR.
I love your passion for these wonderful plants. I may need to go out and get a jeweler's loupe. Hurray!
My eyes just aren't what they used to be.

It sounds like you have some very interesting seedlings, a nice mix of types. It will be so much fun to watch their growing journey with you.

Fertilizing semp seedlings has to be done correctly. Time of year and amount of fertilizer does make a difference. Kevin uses a product called Quick Start, a Miracle Gro product, fertilizing every couple weeks. I think he stops the fertilizing about Sept? @JungleShadows We'll ask just to make sure on the time line of stopping the fertilizing. If you continue into the fall with fertilizing it will weaken them for winter conditions.
