Agree with Michele Tina.
Natalie, not sure I understand your question but I think you are saying if they are growing well in the pots will they need less to to acclimate in the ground. I really don't know. Mine have 3 to 4 leaves now. Some are 8" high. I am thinking they should do fine but I still am going to mulch them to be on the safe side. I had hubby dig out some large seedling clumps to make room for my babies but it is much too hot out now to plant. It is around 90 and I am going to wait till it cools down in the next day or two to plant. Just keeping my spots ready for now. Might be planting on Monday.
