seedlings moved up!

This is the big happy job I did yesterday. Here's half the potted-up young plants in my coldframe- kale, collards, tokyo bekana and tatsoi:
and the rest on the table among younger seedlings still in trays:
The majority of them went into folded paper pots. I am rethinking that- the ones I fold from brown packing paper end up roomy enough, but those from paper bags end up smaller and sometimes I felt like I was stuffing the little plants in there. They don't seem to have taken any harm- but I sowed a few into regular pots just to see later if the ones with more room grow better. Parsley:
Cilantro
Dill
Arugula
Lettuce- one of many
Kale
Even' star land race Collards (note to self: this one does better in cool weather, should grow in fall to overwinter)
Alabama blue Collards (note to self: next year the blue and yellow cabbage collards should be the spring-sown ones)
Yellow cabbage Collard 
Tokyo Bekana (chinese cabbage)
Tatsoi
End note: I ate a few. One lettuce that was smaller, two collards that looked not-so-healthy as the others, and a few cilantro (had more than I needed). The bitty cilantro was very sharp-flavored!
