2025 seedlings are a week away from being planted. 10% fewer this year but quality of seeds is much better . We saved some of the best seeds for next year. Perhaps that should be re-stated to we saved what we think are really good seeds for next year and planted some this year to see how good they are. As one gets older you cannot plant as many seedlings and years ago 2,000- seedlings was a common number. We no longer have to plant 2,000- seedlings to get the same or better results as the seeds are so much better.
