What veg (other than sweetcorn) dislike root disturbance?
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".

I have done almost all my seeds into paper pots

Carrots - 7" Paper Pot (Give them an earlier start)
Parsnip - 7" Paper Pot

Both the above will have the bottom of the paper pot removed before planting because I recall that root vegetables don't like to be disturbed as seedlings so I either sow direct or early into paper pots or peat pots

Pea
Runner Beans
Courgettes

These didn't need paper pots I just got carried away

I've done everything in paper pots too. It's the way forward.

Pretty much everything will work in paper pots. no plants really like root distrubance  Reckon taters might be a bit of a problem though  :lol:

The entire Saturday 'Telegraph' & a reel of sticky tape should do it!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
