I have the seedlings just out of the 'frig after their first cold period.
There are little "wheat" like bulbs and some are greening.
The plan is to keep them warm in a south winter sun until February when they should be chilled again.
My question is when they go back to cold-------should they be encouraged to go dormant first? Or do I just place them out in the cold as they will be?
I have moved them from the plastic bags they were in the 'frig.
Now they are in plastic boxes of vermiculite and peat.
The plan is to move them in January into 2 liter juice containers of potting soil, before they go out to the cold in February.
Any comments and/or suggestions?
