Hi--it's my first winter for WS, and I have really enjoyed the opportunity to "do a little dirt" in the coooooold days of winter. As you NE people are ALL very much aware of, there is a nor'easter out there just waiting to hit us tomorrow (Sunday).
MY question is: do I need to do anything special for my precious jugs (about 40% of which have germinated.) I did move them under my potting bench a few minutes ago, just to keep them from blowing away, which will protect them --but I don't want to leave them there for very long, because they need the light. I'm just not sure how much they need to be protected from a lot of rain--which is supposed to continue for a few days. I know that WS seeds don't mind cold, but what about a lot of rain? Can they got moldy if their soil doesn't dry out a bit? And what about the new seedlings?
