The thinning and transplanting of 170 seedlings took just over one hour. As can be seen from this post and the previous one the removal of 170 seedlings has made little impact on the density of the original tray! I plan to transplant as many seedlings as possible. I have found over a number of years that if the begonias are densely planted they provide excellent ground cover that discourages the growth of weeds and reduces the amount of maintenance.
As the Begonia Tom Foolery seedlings have progressed so well i have decided to thin them out using 170 cell plug plant trays salvaged from previous years when plug plants were purchased. This should save space and energy over putting the seedlings into 60 or40 cell trays.
