Just had a proper look at the timescales we're talking about here. Remember, patience is the key!! These seedlings sound to have been germinated/potted/planted/potted all within the space of a couple of months, patience dude!!!! After germination you have a choice. Pot on into 2 inch pots like you did, or plant out, after germination potting is often the best idea because of how small they are. After this, typically a full growing season would be given before potting up again or planting out, so if you potted them spring 2006 then you might plant out spring 2007, then leave them for as long as possible, just digging up and root pruning perhaps every 2 years.

Hope this helps in the future
Rowan
