Transplanting seedlings

Directly to garden

I may transplant smaller plants such as spinach, chard, parsley, even cabbages directly to garden soil, assuming it's ready and a suitable time (and I have been able to harden them off). It takes planning to get these seeds ready when the soil is ready, so in the spring this applies to plants that tolerate cooler temperatures.

Potted plants to the soil

Just as when I potted the plants, I irrigate the new transplants with water and about 2% liquid kelp/ fish fertilizer solution (1 tablespoon each of liquid kelp and fish fertilizer to a gallon of water). This is both a foliar fertilizer and an amendment to the soil. I'm finding no symptoms of transplanting shock in spring of 2015, at least now while the weather is cool.
