<< My seedlings are in 6" pots - they first broke ground 3 days ago and are on

peat pots - they appear to be root bound already! What should I do? They
haven't been hardened off and appear to be too young to move outdoors (it
was 89 degrees on Friday) and too fragile to transplant to a larger pot.
Any advice is appreciated.

Kevin,
Plant them and provide some partial shade for a few days and slowly
decrease the shade.If you have a brand new plant that is just emerging from
the soil, you can put them out with no hardening off.
