Default Are These Too Small?

It rained this morning, so instead of building a garden fence - I'm planting more peppers. The three pepper varieties are Cubanelle (That I bought late) and two that I got in recent trades here (Padron and Cheryena Chuska.) All three varieties were planted later than all the others I'm growing.

My question: Do you think they are too small to plant out in the garden yet? I could transplant them into solo cups for a few weeks if needed. As always, all thoughts and comments are welcome.

Thanks

Thats a huge can of coke! What is that 32 oz?

Seriously, I would put them in the garden. The days of dealing with plants in solo cups are safely behind you (knock on wood)

I planted some last week that was about the same size or maybe a tad smaller and they have almost doubled in size. My thought is that they will grow better in the ground than in pots.

Thanks guys. I thought it would most likely be okay, but I feel better knowing that others agree.

My, what small plants for such huge pots...

As long as freezing weather is done I also think that they'd grow better in the garden than in pots. I'm still about 9 weeks away from the end of freezing weather.
