When to pot on or plant out:
I have some plants grown from seed that have been in 9cm pots for awhile, including Lupins, Mallows and Hollyhocks.
They are still fairly small relatively speaking (4-5 true leaves) but the roots are starting to come out the bottom of the pots now.
Should these be potted on again (though from what I can tell Lupins don't appreciate being disturbed too many times?) or planted out?
Particularly thinking with the Lupins we do have lots of snails/slugs here.

So saying, I have just planted out some white foxgloves, but I do have some plants in reserve in the cold gteenhouse in pots.
Potting on as nutcutlet says. You can do it carefully and barely disturb the roots. Or like me, a bit od both.
"Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
I've potted them on to 1 or 2 litre pots (lacking sufficient 1 litre ones). Hopefully they don't get thrown out by the Squirrels and Blackbirds.
