The small patch I planted on 10/3 grew to about 6"-8". In the larger patch planted 10/16, about 70% broke ground, those grew to about 1"-3".
I dug up one that had not broken through the ground, it had a nice sprout and about 1 1/2" root growth.
Everything is going to be covered with that white mulch, that Keith referred, tonight
.
Earl, being that you're in southern Ohio, you could probably still get some in the ground.
