Greetings All,

I planted alpine strawberry seeds about one month ago. I didn't have any sand so I spread them as evenly as I could in a chicken rotisserie container. I covered them and voila they came up beautifully.
Problem is that I'm pretty sure they are now ready to go into (still small) individual pots. But because of their spacing I don't know how to get them out. The day I planted them I thought I had bookmarked a website showing how to "prick out" them out. Now I can't find the website.

Anyone with bright ideas or experience with "pricking out"

I started my sweet peas inside (I rent a garden space and knew I wouldn't be able to get it tilled and ready early and etc.,) Now the sweet peas are growing and I recall reading that pinching them at a certain stage will cause them to bush out. (Another lost website:)

Thanks Much for Your Help!
Cheers!
Marlene
