I got Sprouts! Tidytips and Clarkia

I moved the containers to the woods. It was so warm this week I checked on them, to see if any were drying out. Boom! I find sprouts.

I'm surprised by the Clarkia, because I WSed last year not one sprout. They don't like cold weather.

Should I put some heavy plastic over the containers?

I can't believe this weather!?

This weather is nuts. They say that from now on, the temps will rise 1 degree per week (?); I would think your sprouts will be fine. I've not grown clarkia, but tidytips hung in for me with no problem in temps colder than we're having now. Of course, my containers are on the terrace, so maybe that made the difference.

I better get sowing if I want any flowers this year.
