Pricking out advice

Hi all

These are a cottage mix bunch of seedlings

I'm wondering are they ready for pricking out?

Do I put each in little modules?

Blimi there's a lot of em!

 

Yes, they are more than ready to prick out. Depends what you want to do with them. If it were me, accustomed as I was to pricking out on my late father-in-laws nursery, I would prick them out so many to a tray (your choice how many somewhere between 48* - 70** ) until they are ready to transplant into the garden.

* 6 seedlings down x 8 across (48) or
** 7 seedlings down x 10 across (70).

I hope this helps.

 

cheers moyra!

got my work cut out now...

 

If you have plenty of trays you might find the less no of seedlings you plant out to a tray the more room for them to grow. 70 is the maximum so maybe 48 to a tray would be preferable if you can do it.

 

Hmm have no trays! So started putting them in modules!

40 here...



now the only problem is I don't actually know what they are - packet only says assorted mix

 

They look great. By the time they are big enough to go out into the garden each one will give some indication of whether it is going to be tall or short ground cover.
