when i moved from one town/city to the next i had a big 1970 cutlas supreme and i would just load the car up with as many plants as i could (without smooshing them) and drive REAL slow to the new house. i don't know if that will work for you
![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)

Hi Phoenix
Our new home is about a 20min drive. My plants are only about 3 weeks old...still under the fluorescent lights. Temperature here right now is about 60F (15C)...think they'll be ok just puttin' them in the backseat? You think I should cover them? How old were your plants? Thanks for responding!!!!!![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)

omg all the plants i have range from less than a year to about 70 years old. if you let the car run for a few min with the heat running and maybe cover them with a towel or blanket i'll bet they will make the trip quite safely

I would put them in covered cardboard boxes to keep them from getting a cold draft when you move them from the house to the car and get them back under warmth of their grow lights as quickly as possible and your seedlings should handle the move just fine.
P.S. Don't let them get TOO HOT in the car (i.e. parking in the sun)!

I've been so busy packing and cleaning....whew...am I pooped! I'm moving on Friday. Anyway....any advise on how I can move my plants safely?? I'm so afraid of damaging them. Will they survive the move? How am I going to do this?!?! Any ideas? Thanks so much!
