For the first time I use peat pots.My plants are just coming out but their roots are already out of the pot!(Just one or 2 and one inch out).Do I have to transplant them in a bigger pot?I don't want to take a chance to damage my precious pumpkins. Thanx.

Yes, you should transplant to a bigger pot, or into the ground if your weather permits. When you transplant, try to use the same soil as you sued in the peat pot; less shock on the plant that way. You really do not want to see the roots. I generally transplant when I first see the roots coming out, if not before.
