not sure who is who out of these seedlings- probably won't even be sure after I pot them up today
my tagging system was less than effective this year- need to find a better way

ok, not sure what has survived and what hasn't out there- badly labeled to begin with, and my knowledge of leaves is pretty minimal
the sun got most of these anyway- the hardy ones lived (go nasturium, marigolds, geraniums and morning glories- well outside morning glories lived, inside ones all croaked)

ok, this is all of them- striped marvels have yet to bloom, and everyone else is not looking their best- they are either the wrong color or shape- so I'm thinking this is probably like a FFO type of thing and they will adjust....hopefully- if not I will never do marigold seeds again, it's not worth it when I can buy them cheap and they look fabulous
