Well, if you have the room, start 'em in the pots. That way, the plants that don't like re potting won't be repotted!

It is almost always a good idea to start off in small containers and repot into progressively larger pots. So my answer is, it depends on how large your pots are. You want the soil to dry out fairly quickly so that damping off and other root diseases don't have a chance to get a foothold.

yes, this is true... I am thinking in terms of my house where soil drying is NOT a problem! :o)
