No apology necessary, it's just that you had asked about them.

Most probably think it's crazy, but I console myself with the fact that so many plants reseed themselves in cold winter areas. Regardless, the proof will be in the seedlings. If I have growth by mid-late April, we will know it works.

Imagine how much that could save us in lights, electricity, table space, jiffy pots, etc?
I'm happy to be the FR Guinea pig.

Well, we know it won’t work on everything, but it should work for a lot. It’s going to be interesting.

Thanks for the pics fanfan. Just went to look at them.

How interesting. So let me see if I understand the process you are following... you are putting your seedlings into small soil cups and covering with slitted saran wrap and placing in a raised bed?

Once they sprout, then is your plan to take them out of the little cups and plant in the holes the cups were living in?

How cool if that works!

I ordered some non-gmo seeds this weeks. I went outside for a walk and examined the rose bushes and blackberry bushes which had started budding before the recent snow storm slammed us. I had been concerned that the buds would die off. I was tickled that the buds seem happy. The rose bush buds are actually leafing out.
