Is your seedling ready to move from its pot to the garden just because it looks big? Before the move, check its stem: is it sturdy, and do the roots hold the soil together? Looking big enough is not the same as being ready. It needs time to adjust to outdoor conditions, and timing depends on the plant, weather, and local conditions. For the pot-to-bed move, look for sturdy growth and roots that hold, then ease it outdoors.
