Herein lies another obvious advantage of using large, deep containers to start with. You never need to pot up- everything can go from milk jug to garden bed.

If your seedlings are growing and look healthy they're probably OK where they are. If they start to look sickly or spindly you might need to pot them up first.

Start fertilizing when they have their first set of true leaves.

0kay, i will leave for awhile. The other advantage to repot is I could start more seeds. LOL Just what my husband wants to hear the only reason he built me the cold frame was it looks better than all the 2 liters, milk jugs, and miscellaneous containers. He wasn't happy with what he called me junking up the place with these containers. So now all he has to look at is the cold frame. However, I have started putting containers behind the cold frame. What we don't do for our addictions. I can't wait for warm weather.
