Herbs such as sacred basil, caribe cilantro and sweet basil shown here can be started in cell trays and then potted up into permanent containers once their first true leaves appear.

Cucumbers (often direct seeded in our planting zone) require potting up rather quickly when starting indoors and appreciate almost a week of hardening off, or bringing the potted plant outdoors during the day to comfortably transition to the garden where the well established plant has a much higher chance of fending off hungry pests that devour tiny seedlings in one day.
