"betsyb" expounded:

Less than an inch but were in a hanging pot and needed moving. Checked them
this evening and they are almost 3 inches. I just scooped with two hands and
took what came with.

That size has a manageable rootball. You'd be surprised how big it
would be now. Most cucurbits hate any root disturbance and will let
you know it by dying! G
