Re: seedlings now
Hi Kathy,
I don't know..... sounds like it may be already too pot-bound
for me. I plant in 1 gallon pots and try to get them in the
ground three days after germination. These plants will grow
roots rapidly and once they are a little pot bound it tends to
hold them back a lot.
You could go ahead and plant it and see how it does, but be
sure to germinate a backup and plant that in the same mound -
then you can decide which one to terminate later.....
If you plant it be sure to provide some shade cloth until it
cools off a little or you'll probably just toast it.
Good luck,
vince
