They are ready to be transplanted any time, but if your garden isn't ready yet, they can stay in their pots for another two weeks. Keep them outdoors in a bright spot with full or partial sun, and don't forget to water them if it should happen stop raining.

These early hardy vegetables don't need much fertilizer. Some compost and a small amount of a complete organic N-P-K fertilizer dug into your soil will be enough. Naomi's Organic Farm Supply, the Urban Farm Store, and Portland Nursery can supply these.

There are multiple plants in each of the pots. Take the whole soil ball out of the pot, gently free one plant at a time and plant it to about the same depth it was in the pot. Pay attention to spacing; think about how big the mature vegetable will be. There is more specific information on spacing on our website http://galesmeadow.com/plants/planting_tips 

As soon as you are done planting, water the bed thoroughly, and water it again in the morning and evening of the day after planting, unless it is raining. Use some slug protection. Pay attention to your plants every day. Don't let the weeds compete with them, and don't let the bed get too dry. You be able to harvest from them in a few weeks.
