Below are six first-year intersectional seedlings from the Class of 2001. All of my seedlings are planted
in separate 4" plastic pots and grown under artificial lights. After wintering over in a refrigerator, they are transplanted
to 6" pots prior to their second year of growth which is also indoors under artificial lights.
