So, as I forgot to mention in the last entry, I have decided to try the cd case method. I have a heating blanket which I sit the pots on during sprouting and I slipped the case in between some folds.

Anyhow, I never trusted peat pots to let roots through, and since there is a big cost if I trust them and I am wrong I decided to try something new. The idea of transplating sounds even worse to me with the possibility of set back. I have decided to take some peat pots and make many slots on the sides and bottom. Then I cover the entire thing with plastic wrap. It keeps the dirt in, and lets you look for any roots. When you are ready to plant, remove the wrap and set in the ground. Perfect!!!
