They really aren't big enough. That's why I plant directly into 3" or 4" pots, depending on plant. It's also a major stressor for a seedling to sit in a pot longer than 3 weeks once it's got its 1st or second leaves. That's why I have a much later starting time for many plants than most people, so when they are ready to be planted, I will be past the last frost date, or at the optimal time.

We have saved every 3 - 4 in. pot we have come across. I just ordered 120 4 in pots this morning, pretty good price $17.99. We will not be making that mistake and will follow your lead by starting to germinate directly in the 4in. containers from now on.
Thanks for all of your advice, it is greatly appreciated!
