Rutabega and sweet pea planted on cotton in 2 different cups?

Ok... so now they have sprouted.... cute little baby leaves.... should I re-plant the ROOT part of them in my backyard and leave the leaves on the surface of the soil? because i want peas and rutabegas to grow on them.... thanks.

. It sounds like you intend to cut the plants in half and just re-plant the roots!


??


Or are you saying it's an option to re-plant the whole thing, leaves and all, IN the ground? hhmmm .


If the roots are intertwined in the cotton, plant that 'bulb' just far enough in the ground to cover the roots.


Info from the 'seeds' site: "...Plant rutabaga seed outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant in rows 2 feet apart, spacing rutabaga seed 1 inch in the row. Cover seed with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Keep soil moist until rutabaga seeds start to grow.


When rutabaga plants are 1 to 2 inches tall, thin to 10 to 12 inches apart in the row." ..
