Re: Handling tiny seedlings

My problem comes with transplanting -- how do you know when those small
seedlings are ready to transplant.

I use a dental pick.  I got mine (stainless steel) for $2 at a feed & seed
store that sells them in the horse section.  It's indispensable.  Poke a
hole with the 'handle' end and pick up the seedling by a cotyledon with the
'shepards crook' end.  Nestle in and press gently.

Gail suggested using fingers, and if your fingers are small enough, good
for you....I have huge, Russian, peasant-stock hands: totally useless for
detail work and which look pretty funny on my 150lb, 5'11'' body.
