I live on the coast so we usaually have a breeze. I think that starting by just rolling up one side is a good way to start as well. This is my first time making mistakes (I mean learning) with plastic covers. Too hot for winter crops down here in Florida under the plastic. 2 inch high spinach went right to seed. LOL.... I also planted spinach in black plastic pots with no cover. They are doing great. So I figure if it is that hot in there, why not try starting seeds in there.
