Title: beetroot transplanting
Post by: adrianhumph on May 02, 2007, 08:41:06
Hi all,  :D
               I have some beetroot seedlings in individual seed tray cells ,approx 50mm square (2 inches in old money) they have a pair of leaves & look healthy enough. Should I transplant them out now ? or wait until their roots have filled the compost completely?

Mine were just like that last weekend so I planted them out in a trough - seem quite happy so far.

they don't need much roots to get started just keep watered
