Joanne, I was considering WS them, but depends on how long it will take. Anybody know off the top of their head? Tomorrow is April 1st. and our last chance of frost date here is April 22 I think, so am wondering if I should just wait and then direct sow them? How will I know when I should open up my containers on the seedling that have already germinated? Do I just open them a little at a time instead of all at once, weather depending? At what temperature should I be able to open them(60's? 70"s?) Will opening them help them develop their second true leaves which means I can set them in the flowerbed? When I am able to plant them in the flowerbed, should I use the top of the jug to protect them for a while?(I'm thinking from squirrells, chipmunk and deer) Wouldn't I would need clear, soda bottles that are clear, instead of milk jugs?What about clear, water bottles?
