gardenglory,
Looking good. I wonder how do you get them acclimated to grow in soil after the roots spent time in water, which is easier for them to grow in. In other words, don't they suffer a "transplanting" shock.

Below is my 5-step from seed to planting. I use Deno method (moist kitchen towel) Seeds sprouted Oct -November 2011, and planted May 31, 2012. The 4th photo show roots growing in a 3" pot ready for planting outdoors. They do get placed on the north side of my garage on a stand for morning sun to harden them off before planting in the nursery.

There are 116 DL seedlings and 64 in another area. On the right is iris seedlings. I can hardly wait for spring. The 64 should bloom this season as they were sown 2009. Six did bloom last summer.
