Repotting seedlings, (when to?)

Danielsville, GA(Zone 7b)

I need to ask a question, and hope this is the forum for it.When your seeds germinate, how do you know when to transplant?How many perminant leaves, etc. Mike

What are you growing Mike? Wait for at least two adult leaves and I don't think it hurts to leave a little longer unless they are crowded. It is easier to handle some plants when they are a little bigger. Don't handle by the stems, just hold on to a leaf as you worry it out with a tweezers or whatever you're comfortable with. You probably know the drill, make hole and drop it in, firm soil.
