you think they will?
i cut down about 5 inches under the soil and lifted them out in blocks.

I can't say for sure, they probably will. I think they are quite a bit more hardy than people say if you start them off right. As long as the taproots weren't cut I don't see why they won't flourish. I've transplanted a 4x4' section before to an area with poor soil (rocky w/clay) and they still grew. I just saturated the ground after tilling it up a bit and transplanted.

Heh, didn't see that pic you posted before now. Mine were a bit bigger than that (so likely bigger roots), so I say you have a good chance

See, mine, when that young, have very serrated leaf margins.. How old are those?
I showed a few others who are familiar and they agree that it looks like something else.

This is a poppy seedling from www.poppies.org I think you are right edit: Isn?t it too late for them to be sprouting/growing outdoor?

Well.. Its a tough call when trying to decide if its too late.. I thought it was too late a month ago and I have several plants that are 4''-5'' tall already. Very quick growing when fed regularly.
Mitch,, Post that other pic of valerian you had in the hunting forum too. I wanna get a closer look at it.

Your 2:0 now buddy. ... I think that valerian has more dissected leaves and is topped off with an small umbel of flowers, not too unlike other members of the carrot family.
Why don't you post a pic of you and the toad to draw the attention off the mis IDed plants

i'm pretty sure those are poppies. i had some persians that looked just like that in their juvinile age. what strain are they? they look pretty good right now but it's not a good idea to try and transplant somni's. as long as the don't get waterlogged they should be cool. poppies get pretty big so it would be a good idea to thin em out a bit (not now but in about a week or 2).
good luck good day

yeah look like some little poppies i have going now, i have one pot full of seedlings about 30 - 50, and another pot of larger transplants, maybe three or four. But the pots i have them in now are way to small so they will probably need another transplant some day soon.

I totally dont think they are at all. but I suppose if everyone else is so confident they are, maybe its just a variety i'm not use to see at such a young age.
