Re: Peas and beans


Well, of course you can transplant it if you can manage to get it out
undamaged. I do this all the time. A cool day and wet soil help a lot in
minimizing transplant shock. You can also just close your eyes, take a deep
breath, and SNIP the weaker seedling off with your thumbnail or a similar
sharp instrument, but we tender-hearted gardeners often find this step
impossibly difficult. Why I have lettuce seedlings in between all my other
plants....
