.... don't think that just you have planted out good, big, healthy plants that you won't have to them back in their pots a week later, having had their leaves and stems decimated.

Don't poke every little bit of any plant in a pot - they grow!
Eldest daughter trained as a florist (now a school secretary and does flower arrangements for the school - it's a bit posh) left all her carnation trimmings on my garden table beginning of last year and I ended up with 7 plants.
Trimmed them back last autumn and now I have nearly 2 dozen eeek

The seed packet may say sow by 2014, but do not assume this means 90% of the seeds will be dead. I swear every single one sprouted. I don't like tomatoes that much.
