Carla,

Thanks for your response.  Your words are encouraging. I used peat pots last year and this year I have them in 50's.  I think I can get them out tomorrow.  Now only if we can keep the bad weather away!

Jay,
I transplant all of my squashes and cucumbers. Or, at least until it gets too hot to seed things in the greenhouse. We go directly to the field with ours, and we hope for a calm day. The wind will whip those leggy plants around and snap off stems if we aren't super careful. Other than that, we plant as usual, no deeper. My plants always go from being too small to set out to gigantic seemingly over night. We used to use peat pots, but now we start them in either a 50 cell plug tray or a 72 cell speedling. They do fine either way.
