Yes Karen, it works.

Mine were planted in their final containers the 1st week of May. After reading here for a couple of years now, I am more brave about putting them out into the cold and my yard has some shelter. No heat in my tarp 'green house', no pics.

I would need yet more lights if I used larger than 4" pots for seedlings (growing too many give-aways).
I hardened them off, moving them out for longer periods each day for about 2 weeks starting 04 18 2018.
1st time. Guard dog on duty. The only time they were on the ground.




Some in final containers with a little shelter on cool nights or days.




After reading how tall yours were I had to go out and measure!
Tallest are the two EM Champions at 26", the rest about 2'. Most are in bloom now.
I guess it's time to take some more pics. (A few physical issues have slowed me down lately or it would be done!)
