Sowing Seeds
Step 6:

When the seedlings set on their first set of true leaves transplanting is necessary if they are seeded densely in a small container. Plants should be gently pricked out of the seeding container and placed in cell packs or peat pots filled with a high quality, soilless plant medium. Use a pencil to lift the individual plant, holding it by the leaves (not the stems) and dislodging the roots carefully place the seedling in the hole and firm soil around seedling. Water the transplants with a fine mist and place back in the light and keep the temperatures cooler. Do not let the soil dry out completely but avoid keeping the soil too wet. Fertilize with a diluted water-soluble fertilizer such as Peters, Miracle Gro or fish emulsion when the seedling has begun to set new leaves. The dilution rate and fertilization schedule is noted on the packaging for new transplants. Harden the plants off outside in a shady protected place for several days before planting outside.
