Transplanting somewhat older tobacco plants

[stu]

I have planted my tobacco seedling plants 3 weeks ago in the ground. They are not small seedlings anymore and are somewhat bigger. But on the place where i have planted them there is some problems with the sewer drainage system. Because of this there are some piping that run trough my tobacco field. Im afraid that maybe i have to transplant them is this doable at this size and age or will they not survive this. Maybe for a couple of days i was thinking of planting them in pots and when the field is done i can plant them back.

As long as you remove the plants WITHOUT DAMAGING THE ROOT BALL you can move them safely ( up to a point… there will always be some transplant shock…)
