Re: Roots coming out of peat pots

John,
 
After reading your e-mail tonight, I decided to check to see if I had
roots coming out of my peat pots.  I did.  I started my seeds last
Saturday morning, planning to give them a week in the peat pots 
before putting them into my cold frames.  Well, now I have
transplanted my biggest one (One Ton Cross....1061X1006) into
a cut off gallon milk jug and prepped my patch to plant this one
tomorrow night when I get home from work. 
 
I probably should have left it in the peat pot and not transfered it to
the milk jug, but I just couldn't stand seeing that little (I mean vigorous)
root growing into nothing.
 
Next year I am going to germinate my seed as I did this year (damp
paper towel method), but then I am going to put them directly into
heated cold frames in the patch.  No more peat pots... too stressful.
 
PS.  I don't agree with the Remington method of keeping away pests....
I would use a WIINCHESTER!
