How It's Going: Transplanting Spring Seedlings
The seedlings I started around Ostara took off, quickly outgrowing their peat pellets. After two to three weeks, I moved them to larger pots. This is always risky because transplanting involves handling the plants—removing the sleeve around the peat without damaging the roots, trying not to touch the delicate stems, avoiding bending anything, etc.
I managed to injure only two tomato plants and one Brussel's sprout, and after a few days, both pulled through. They take up more space now, so we moved to a larger, plastic table. I have a limited number of heat pads, so I placed the more delicate plants (tomatoes, peppers, Brussel's sprouts) on them and left the others (flowers, herbs) unheated. So far, so good. More to come as we move to prepping the garden for transplant.
