If you mess the tap root up you just messed the carrot up.

I have also read poppy doesn't like to be transplanted so be careful with it too.

I haven't started my carrot seeds yet, but they're going to go straight into the pot that they're going to grow in, I have no plans of transplanting them.

With the flower seeds in the starter cells, I leave the mesh on until I transplant so that things don't get messy, but I do take it off when I transplant them.

I haven't read anything about poppies, so if they fail when I transplant, I won't be too sad about it haha. Just having fun this year and trying not to read too many different things from too many different sources and getting myself confused.
