You start carrots inside??? Have you ever done that before? I am just curious I would think they would be difficult to transplant.

I am so jealous of your little sprouts, we are still: so frozen here in NH and I really need to control my urges, so I don't get things going too early.

Wow! those peas have double and tripled in size in 2 days Those guys are going to be a tangled hairball in a week. Can you repot them today? And start hardening them of asap.

I have never lived or even visited Portland, Oregon, but it's high on my list for where I would like to move because it has a longer growing season from what I have currently. I want to say its Zone 8 but can't remember what its sunset zone is.

Anyways, peas are hardy little things and can take cold temps and even some light snow...but that would be for ground planted ones...yours have been babied and now have to be hardened a bit so they don't go into shock.

Transplant them into little paper pots or paper cups and put them outside during the day...bright shade to start (day 1) then moving them to full sun gradually (like their spot in the garden part of day 3 and then all day 4) then bring them in at night. Day 5 don't water and leave one pot out all night and see how it does. It takes about a week to harden things off but these are peas and your zone is 8 and we can push it. Unless there is a freak blizzard, your peas should be fine. Good luck

Looks great! I just started my seeds this weekend and my turnips are already coming up. You are going to have a really hard time though getting rosemary to germinate from seed IIRC.
