| I live in northern part of the lower peninsula.
The city I live in is called Boyne City. I plan to start some veggies from seed.
My question is if I grow seedlings in breezy/windy
In windy weather for young seedlings should I put them in a place where the windiness can't get to them? Basically should I put them in a place where they'll be sheltered from the wind? I don't want to have them die immediately after they germinate because of not having the foresight to
I plan to start from seed this weekend or early next week. |

| 1) the wind MAY cause the soil to dry out & that will impeed germination & further growth 2) In the conditions you describe a "mulch" or other protection may be required 3) Experiments show that a gental breeze & the resulting plant movement produces stronger plants |
