I pot them up when they've got their first true leaves.

I've used a John Innes seed compost this year (never again) everything sulks until I pot them up into Multi-Purpose compost when they go away. The JI seems to go lumpy and stays wet even when its not watered.

I don't have to worry about potting mine up, I've only had 2 germinate!  And they are in different modules! :lol:

I have re-potted some of mine for various reasons such as overcrowding, sporadic germination and compost exhaustion/ lack of nutrients. If they look happy and healthy I wouldn't rush to move them  :)

Fine then I will leave them for another week then thin them out. You get a long hot growing season down here so I am hoping I get a good crop so I an bottle some a la Old El Paso style, I love those could eat a jar with one Mex meal :) or the really just spice up a cheese sandwich !
