I'd say they're ready to transfer out

Mine were shorter than that but had roots coming out the bottom of the modules and they transplanted fine, though the module cells were smaller than yours. As long as the root ball stays intact when you start pulling them out, it should be fine. I like for the compost to dry out a bit first otherwise it tends to fall apart. Plant them deeper so they don't flap around in the wind so much.Comment

I wouldnt plant them out yet.
When you lift them out they are going to fall apart.
They need to grow sturdier first.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

I'd wait. I tried on Friday to plant out some leeks that looked like that, it didn't go well. So I'll be leaving the rest for a few more weeks. There were a few roots sticking out the bottom, but actually that was all the roots there were and they just fell apart as soon as they came out the module.Comment

I personally would not,they do not look strong enough,wait until the roots are very visible,then the whole cell will come out clean,when you do transfer,put em in at the same level,i do suppose they are spring onions,as they on that thread,if not please say.Originally posted by .commander View PostsigpicAnother nutter ,wife,mother, nan and nanan,love my growing places,seed collection and sharing,also one of these

Actually, better with spring onion, but I tend to sow them straight in the ground LOL Leeks usually in modules and I plant them out when they're about the size in the picture lolComment

They say leeks should be pencil thickness for planting out - I never manage that!!Comment
