P.S. Thanks again to token and the contributors to her swap - most of the seeds I planted were from the swap. I planted half of the package now and will plant the other half of the package in February - that way I'm guaranteed success (HA, HA, HA or HO, HO, HO!)

No holes in the plastic containers? If it rains or snows, there will be no way for the containers to drain. I'd say you need draingae holes in the plastic containers as well as slits in the tarp.

Thanks, PV. I took the lasagna pans out of the containers and they are sitting directly on the snow now.

Zaheen, the lasagna pans will be fine outside of the containers. Just watch for moisture in the spring when it starts to heat up. I've found they need more water than containers with less soil exposure.

Thanks, token, appreciate the advice.

Do put holes in the lasagna pans other wise your cups will be frozen in a solid block of ice. I use a tarp and put in slits for rain and snow to water. It worked great last year. :)
