I guess I didn't mention it before, but just in case I forget, I will probably not use peat pots again since the roots on some of the plants have a difficult time penetrating them. Will probably plant in plastic 3" containers the next time around or in plastic trays with individual cells (although it is sometimes difficult to lift out the seedlings). Maybe root trainers are a good idea. I ripped off the peat pots before planting the seedlings in the ground. Last year, the marigolds planted into the ground with the pots seemed a bit on the small size.
