spud transplant

both the basadres under the lights in the basement have pretty much reached the limits of what the peat pots can afford them in terms of growth...

and saying they had become pot bound would not be understating things...so i peeled off the peat pots ( and thus defeated one of their purposes entirely ) and roughed the soil around the roots to let them know it was okay to expand...

and gave them new homes in containers i brought in and cleaned out yesterday ( because i knew this was becoming necessary )...they are deep enough to allow for some back filling to stimulate tuber growth...we will see how this turns out sometime in march...
