Wow! That looks like back breaking work planting all those plants. Do you find there is an advantage transplanting plants instead of seeding directly into the soil. I plant around a thousand plants (pumpkins, squash etc) but plant only seed. This year I used a Cole 12MX planter and it worked like a charm. I wait until the soil is in the high 60's before I plant. My plants are just breaking the surface this week.
