    Hello, I am brand new to your channel today, and you have me jazzed to try this. I noticed you throw away the lids. What keeps the seeds/ seedlings warm enough if the lids are off? We live in 7b but high elevation (4-5 thousand ft) and we do get snow on occasion. Thank you

  • @thesoutherndaisyllc

    @thesoutherndaisyllc

    6 ай бұрын

    Welcome!!!!! I’m glad you are here! The lids on would prevent them from getting any moisture from nature (rain,snow etc) which is vital to their survival. The goal is to allow them to freeze or stay cold as they would in nature. When the soil warms the seeds know it’s time to wake up and grow. Even if it feels like it’s too early for plants to survive in the containers you can trust the process and leave them. The goal is not trying to keep them warm you are letting nature do its thing, letting them freeze. One of my next videos should help explain this better. Great question. By the way snow is great too. You leave your containers out in it and let them be cold it’s all part of the incredible process. 😊
