A question that happens all the time or I get all the time is how do you

actually know the moment at which to transplant a seedling into the garden, which is a great question.

I mean, if you put all the time in to care for your seedlings,

make them nice and healthy, you're growing the varieties you want,

you started them from seed,

you do want to make sure that that transition moment happens smoothly.

Things go really well and you don't deal with any transplant shock or damping off or

just failure to thrive.

So here's just a couple little tips and some of them I know are going to be pretty

basic but that's okay because there's always a good reason to refresh our skills

first of all you need to know that when you put it out it's in a season that it's going to do well.

I think that's pretty self-explanatory. You have to place it in an area that will do the best.

You know if you're growing right now something in the fall

some cabbage etc you don't want to just completely blast it with a sunny spot

but again it's pretty light hungry plant in general it still wants full sun just not like blazing hot sun so give it a good amount.

Don't put it in a shady spot hanging out on the north side of the garden. If you start your

plants from seed I think if you don't label the date at which you

started them, that's going to mess with you a little bit because it's going to

make sure that you don't know exactly when you did it.

Most of us don't remember these dates.

And so it's a good idea because sometimes you'll see a plant

in your little seedling tray that's been sitting there for a while
