i plan on digging the hole with a small garden tool and planting the germinated seed directly do you think it will survive?

well i planted some seedlings in the ground.
and the sprouts actually look really healthy.
but i will learn over time how it effects them when thier bigger.

do you guys think that it will survive in 50 degree weather?

Possibly. Maybe even probably, depending on various variables. But you're better off starting in a Jiffy pot. Even if it's only an inch or two tall when you move it outside, it's still an advantage over planting directly outdoors.

Probably, but you're better off waiting another week or two. The extra two weeks of early vegetating you get by planting now aren't significant enough to offset the disadvantages of planting outside in cold weather.

They've always worked fine for me. Lots of other guys here on the board are happy with them, too. You just don't like jiffy pots - admit it!

Yeah, I germed my first batch of the season in Jiffy pots the other day, and have a 100% germ rate. I'll start the second batch this weekend. My only beef is that I wish they made one slightly larger, so I could start them a little earlier and get a larger root ball before sticking them outdoors.
for sure if they could just make them 4 times bigger they would be amazing. You could probably veg em to about 8-10 inches if that were the case.

Those are the ones i already do use. And yeah, they're a little bit better, but I'd much rather have 4-inch ones.

Yup. Nice and handy. I know that to a lot of people, it probably doesn't seem like that big a deal, but if you're germing 100 seeds, it sure can save a lot of time and effort to use Jiffy pots. I don't know why they don't make 4-inchers; seems like they'd sell tons of them.
