OK. The results are in as far as what did and what didn't make it to adolescence. There are perennial seeds I still have which I would like to try again - can I do it NOW? I like the containers because the critters don't get the seeds and I remember where I planted them. On the other hand, I'm afraid at this point that a container will heat up too fast and fry any germination. I like not having to worry about the seedlings and letting nature do its work; I won't be able to wait on these things hand and foot, as it were. (I do have a life, I think.) Maybe if I make super big holes, effectively just like a screen over the top? Mosquito netting? Cheesecloth? Tulle? Saran wrap with holes doesn't work.
