I try to avoid potting and then re-planting as I don't need the extra work, but there are times I can't avoid it. I have potted when they arrive before the bed is ready, or if I don't know where I want to plant it, and need to buy some time. I also potted the plants from Australia when I order from Tempo 2 as they arrive in April, and I'm not sure where to put them, or if the weather is too cold and I want to shelter them some. When I have my act together, I have the bed prepared, plant placement determined, and markers set before they arrive. Then when they come I can just plunk them in the ground. Last year when I planted around 200 or so, I had it all pre-planned and I'd still be planting them if I hadn't I'm sure. Whistling
