How  fascinating! Oh, how neat! This do raise some interesting possibilities,

in  her seed stash.    

<<Yes, I've moved some of the burritos into the house where  it's a bit

it's a bit warmer than the rest of the living room.  I  turn it off at 
night - varies between low 60s at night and about 68 to  70oF during the day.
 
The books are always talking about putting seed flats and such on top of  the 
refrigerator, which is supposed to be a warm spot, but around here it is  
typically a hard to reach and dirty spot, except for those time  after I've done 
a major kitchen scrub down, walls and ceiling washed etc.,  which, I blush to 
say, is only about quarterly. 
 
Thanks, LInda; that was interesting.
