We've had wonderful weather for past week or so, in 70's and 80's, tomorrow I am planting some of my WS seedlings into my flowerbed. They are ready. Some have become very spindly, should I pinch them after I put them in the ground so they will bush out or wait and give them time to grow? I saved all the jug/bottle tops in case the temperature drops. They are predicting rain on Thursday night. Should I put those tops back on at nighttime and take them off during daytime for a while? Next year, I'm only doing milk jugs and liter soda bottles, no other containers. They dry out too quickly(coffee cups and cold drink cups) I have gone through a container of Critter Ridder in over a week, but the squirrels keep digging, so I'm going to spray ropel around on the soil, not on foliage. Should I place a flower pot upside down at night to protect the tender seedlings and remove it the next morning, weather permitting?
