    Anyone else in here wintersowing in zip type baggies? I have I think 24 types of seed in these, and I'm wondering if someone could give me pointers. I get so nervous trying new techniques :-)
    I have them underneath my patio table so they get light for a few hours in the morning and shade the rest of the time. I have them held open with a clothespin- around a one to 2 inch opening. Getting lots of condensation, and the soil is still moist. I have a problem with the tops of the bags flopping over though-
    Do I open the baggies further on warm days? Do they need more sun (or less?). I guess I'm feeling a bit nervous while waiting for the magic to happen- don't have any sprouts although they've only been out for a couple weeks, and it was in the 60's and 70's a time or two.
    Thanks in advance-
    Samantha
