Replanting seedlings
~This is the first year I've started seeds indoors. I used those expandable peat pellets.
Well they're all up and hitting against the plastic dome of the starting box.
I think I should be re-potting them in larger containers now using regular potting soil?
Do I need to keep them covered still? ~~Constance

No do not keep them covered.The lid should have been removed already.There is a greater chance of mold,they need air circulation now.

You should not need to repot them. The peat pellets can go right into the soil.
There is a time for each plant, when they are X many weeks old and have reached a certain height, and have so many real leaves, and the soil temp is warm enough... that's when you plant them. It may say on the seed packet. Otherwise you can look them up online.Use it up, Wear it out,
Make it do, Or do without. ~unknown

Yeah, do uncover them. I wouldn't repot them unless you start to see loads of roots emerging from the sides & bottoms of the peat pellets.
I would begin to add soluble fertilizer to their water, however. Peat pellets are nearly devoid of nutrients.
