Wow 30 years!? I started growing things from seed three years ago. Before that, I was never successful with seed starting so I tried to avoid it. I finally got enough courage to start some passion vines from seed and I was successful. Ever since then, I've been growing most of my plants from seed. Its amazing your daughter has over 130 milk jugs, she'll definitely have a very beautiful and full garden this year. I don't think I would be able to keep up with all of those milk jugs
That's a great trade-off, to have her start seeds that need more chilling time. A couple of years ago, my area was on the borderline of 7b and 8a, and now I'm in 8a, which is kind of nice lol.
