Well, the little dudes are living in new homes now. :)  It took me an hour and a half to move them all! Argh! 

I'm not really  a fan of transplanting seedlings from the initial pot to nursery packs, but I haven't thought of a better way.  I tried starting the pansy seeds in nursery pots, but that turned out being pretty wasteful.  

The problem with transplanting seedlings is the danger of snapping their stems or ripping too many of the roots off.   Poor little dudes - I hope I didn't break any of them.

And now I am going to go try to get all of this dirt out from under my fingernails ...

Oh - I did remember to plant the nasturtiums.  I almost forgot, but I spotted them before I'd finished putting all the transplanting supplies away.  Those seeds are huge!  They're only slightly smaller than an M&M.  

All of the transplanting work took place inside since it's weirdly cold again.  Oh well - the mustards that are outside are tough, and the others haven't sprouted yet.   It's a good thing I did do the transplanting inside - it was well after dark when I finished.
