According to their website (www.supersoil.com), this "Supersoil" mix
contains:

* Canadian sphagnum peat moss, ground fir bark, high-quality
compost, and fresh, clean sand
* Nitrogen
* Phosphorus
* Potash
* Iron

And as I said, my other babies are growing very well in it.

I guess from what I'm hearing that it might have been a bit *too* cold for
them to be outside like that. If the temp didn't get above 50F, I never
took them out. This was pretty rare, though.

I have looked back at my notes and yes indeed all of these guys were
planted in Dec, Jan, and early Feb. Certainly warmer than most parts of
the country, but maybe still too cold for seedlings. March started our
warmup with some days in the 90's and everyone planted after 1 March are
doing very well.

Matt
