Any advice on the move from the little pods to the ground would be appreciated - thanks for the thread!

Axeman gave good advice. Another thing I would add is to water well once they are planted or water the hole they are going into.

Which of the plants are 4" high already? I can't imagine the onions, carrots or cantaloupe is that high already.
