Getting bigger

More and more true leaves are popping up everywhere. I can tell it's getting pretty close to time to transplant some of these seedlings. When I lift up the pots in order to put water in the watering tray I can see a lot of roots hanging down. I can just imagine what the root system must be like inside the pots. Don't want to let those roots get too crowded - that is a good way to kill your seedlings.

My peas are ones that always grow fast. Once they're up it doesn't take them long to get their true leaves. These are ones that I rarely move to a slightly larger pot - once they're ready, I plant them outside in the planter where they'll be until it's time to pull them up. They grow quickly, so it seems silly to be moving them every few days or so. That just increases your chances of giving them transplant shock.
