    I use the cheap kitchen scissors and sometimes a serrated steak knife for
    cutting milk cartons; I use them on juice containers too.

    For the thicker plastics like the juice containers, I make the drain holes and the
    "vents" with a soldering iron.

    I have put out about 50 containers, most of them in the last three days. We are
    due daytime highs of 50s, 60s, and one low 70s. Night time temps range from
    the 50s to freezing; they are mainly in the mid to upper thirties.

    Do my jugs have a chance? I am going to do some backup with germinating seeds of those plants which are already up in my yard. If I
    plant the seeds immediately upon germination, I feel that they might grow?
    Please think and tell me: Hollyhocks, shastas, lupin, delphinium, poppies
    foxgloves are all up and doing fine. Don't you think planted JUST germinated seeds would take too??
