This is my second year WSing, and I'm getting really frustrated with how this year is going. I planted my veggie seeds just as spring was starting to break(end of March), but we still had freezing temps AND snow for several weeks after I put my milk jugs out. I'm doing the exact same thing I did last year as far as prepping containers, except I planted all veggies instead of flowers. I have 0 sprouts. None.

My containers aren't water-logged, and they aren't dry. There's no mold or other fungus growing on the top of my potting mix either. They get a good amount of sun in the morning/afternoon, and shade after 3pm or so.

This spring has been very cold and damp though. We're just starting to get temps in the low 50s on a semi-regular basis, but we have had very very few sunny days. Please tell me I just need to be patient!
(I planted peas, tomatos, green beans, and a few summer squash.)

On the other hand, I wonder if the seeds could have rotted? It doesn't sound like it, as you say they are not water-logged.

I hope someone with vegie experience will chime in -
and I hope you have success.

It's large seeds that tend to rot in prolonged cold, wet soil. Smaller seeds tend to be fine. Now it's just a waiting game for warm sunshine and most of your seeds probably will be fine.
