A couple of pictures showing the root system when they are ready for potting on. They have been in the 31/2 for 7 weeks. Make sure that they are well watered before they are knocked out . The 5 inch pots should have been soaked at least overnight to make them turgid. If you haven't got the materials to mix your own soil use John Innes no2. Each plant is caned and tied with a twist it.
I have also sprayed with Systhane this weekend as part of the programme to stop White Rust.
When they have been potted they will go into the cold frame.
