I just tried Gimme's suggestion for transplanting carrot sprouts that were just a few days old growing in a 12" pot. I used a plastic spoon to spoon it out and transplanted it deep like a tomato. I was worried that I'd mess up both the one I spooned out and the one next to it. However, that was last week, and they are doing just fine. My beets, though, I waited too long, and they're getting kind of big, so I'm afraid to try transplanting at this point.
A big thank you to Gimme for teaching me this new trick!
