Mark...lemme try an clarify somethin...thats whats Important...as to transplantin a carrot. A carrot aint like a bean plant, or a cucumber plant, or a okra plant. Those plants dont like air-exposure to their roots...one bit, an will croak in a heartbeat, if transplanted in a bare-root or exposed root manner. A carrot aint that way.Transplant shock is not a factor w/it, it dont mind it one bit.

What messes it up, is damagin the tap root. If ya keep that in mind....its a good success...consistently. you can even throw about 10 seeds in each styrofoam cup like you talkin about,...an re-transplant them...provided you can extract them from it...intact...thats the Whole key...))) Thats why i say it teaches...Prescision...))) it also teaches...Timing....in a wonderful way here in the hot South. If that boy can get involved an learn about a carrot, u got him way ahead in the Game, in a good way...)))
