Mission accomplished!

Today I finished my tie job and managed to place most of my mature potted brugmansia seedlings in neat rows.  I ended up with 6 rows with 40-50 plants per row.  Most of these seedlings were started in early spring and many will be blooming for the first time soon.  I expect that at least a third of these will be tossed into the compost pile because their blooms will not make the cut.  All have the potential to display unique one of a kind flowers.

About 20 over-sized plants were planted in the ground because they were too big for their containers.  Many had lost their tags so I planted them in an area I call NOID Corner.  NOID stands for no ID.  I allow my potted plants to send roots into the ground. This helps stabilize them and helps me out when it comes to watering.  Once I cut the tap root on the over-sized plants there was no way the plant was going to survive without being moved up to a larger pot.  Not knowing if they were going to be keepers I opted for placing them in the ground.  If they don't perform, they will be yanked and replaced.

Now it's time for my next project, what do I do with the 700+ seedlings in gallon sized pots that are reaching 3+ feet in height?
