Paul--Sally's right...sounds good to me....

Are the seeds only from last year? Moving, or re-potting seedlings is better when they are young.
Less root damage. You can always prick them out--pot them in a 4" pot, and dig the pots back into
the bed to grow another year. The do grow very slowly.
Remember the one I gave you at sally's Swap? That was in it's 3rd year of growing...
Of course, like Sally's amazing soil where hers grows--it grew much, much faster.

The below picture (I already posted this once) is a naturally dropped seed--that germinated
on its own in the bed. I dug it up and put it in a 4" pot. Just stuck it in the back of that little bed
right next ti the WS bed.This picture was taken in October of the same year.

Also, remember--that the WS is a deciduous shrub--so even the little seedlings will lose all their leaves
in late fall and be just a stick.
Yes! A picture would help......G.
