Growing from Seed

First Two Leaves vs. Long Roots

10 years ago

Hi all, we have several trays of seedlings whose roots are growing out the bottom. Many by a lot. I was tempted to transplant them but read online to wait for the second set of true leaves. It seems to me they should get transplanted into the field now though because of the long roots. Thoughts?

What seedlings are they? They sound as if they need pricking out ie transplanting to the next size container. I would not risk them in the ground at that size. Any chance of a picture?
