This month in a bed I discovered 4 seedlings from 2000.
I have sprouted seeds in 8" pots. I want to transfer the sprouts to
six pack containers, before lining them out. I want the sprouts to
develop a good system before I put them in the cold ground. Most of
the time I have time to piddle around.
Is this a good approach, a bad approach or just wasting time?

Al, I have done this on occasion when I had just a few sprouts
form a difficult or unusual cross and feared they couldn't
take the hot sun here if lined out with the others. I moved
them into larger pots, one seedling per four or six inch pot.
Then, in the fall I unpotted them and planted the entire root
ball. They didn't know they had been moved previously. I had kept
them in partial shade all summer.
Should work really well for you where it is a little cooler.
