Being able to see the root system through a clear cup is neat.

The little 5 oz cups you use, are they plastic, or the wax coated paper ones? I've been using the wax coated paper ones. Am I using the wrong ones? They peel apart so easily when it's time to transplant.

Some more of my seedlings are up this morning under my grow lamp. Also, this morning it's finally in the mid thirties, but with no wind, it feels okay outside.

It is. When the boys & girls club kids come over, I’m going to make sure there are a few clear plastic containers with the roots showing, so they can see how plants grow.
I was amazed one year. An AG class was assigned the duty of clearing the Sr Center gardens. Two girls were handed a shovel and a hoe. Neither knew how to use them. They both moved the implements around the top of the garden, looking confused. So I took it upon myself to show them what they were supposed to do with the shovel and hoe. Amazing.
