Diana, this was the very reason why I was going to start them in plug trays,
as I'd read that the roots hated disturbance (like poppies).  My intention
was to "bypass" the early moving-up stage and let the seedlings develop some
height & root mass before moving them up.  Have I gone haywire?  Could you
share your method of sowing/moving up seedlings that have roots like these --
a regular seed flat?

Thank you very much for any comments.   C. Carter, CA/Z9
