that's another problem when it is time to plant out. if they are very big, the plants are really delicate and you risk breaking the main stalk(?) when you tip the pot over. Sometimes it is almost a two person job. Not sure what is going to happen this year as I have bunches of little plants sprouting. Largest is about 3-4" already though most are maybe 1" but it is only the first part of April and Unless I can get the poly on the raised beds up soon (I put them out there when it is warmer but still not safe to have them exposed to sun and breezes) it won't go well. Seems like it is always a race of some sort or another. And I am leaving May 18 (Wed) and won't be back until the following Monday night. Not too concerned about the dahlias but I am starting seed planting for vegies and annuals. They will be very vulnerable. Hoping my neighbor can handle watering without drowning.
