I planted 18 Mountain Laurel seeds 2 weeks ago and surprised that they germinated so well. I had 14 germinate and this morning 2 more are showing the white sprout :)

I gathered these late last summer and just found out a few months ago that they were the mountain Laurel bush/tree. Now What? I'm new to germinating seeds (just started this year) but I've been gardening for over 35 years :) Should I leave them for a bit, transplant to pots that are tall (I found out they have a long tap root) or should I plant a few in the ground? I don't need 16 trees!

Happy Gardening, Jeannie :)
