One of the reasons I love WS so much is that is easy easy easy. I plant my seeds then, put them in the shade then forget about them until spring, when I start watering them until they can be planted. It seems to me that many people are really making more work than needed. Like covering them up if the temp is going to be to cold. Moving them in the sun to the shade and back again. Things like that. I was just wondering if anyone is like me and just leaves them alone and they do fine or are people having trouble NOT leaving them alone.

I think we have been trained to "baby" our seeds that many are doing so without really having to. If I had to do all the work some of you guys are doing I would never have done it in the first place!
