When Should You Transplant Your Seedlings?
Planting Your Seedlings
- Try to transplant on an overcast day or early in the morning so the plant can settle before the sun rises.
- Be sure to soak the soil around the seedlings after you’ve finished transplanting.
- If the season is dry, you can spread mulch over the area to help retain moisture.
- Fertilize the area to promote strong root development using two tablespoons of 15-30-15 starter fertilizer into a gallon of water, providing one cup of the mixture to each seedling for a few days.
- Plan your transplant around the forecast for spring frosts and have a plan to protect your plants.
