The problem here North of Montreal is that Summers are very humid.
Chris, the summers are usually quite humid here too. When I first started
this technique, I didn't have AC. (Why they were by the window that one day)
I lived in an old house that had been renovated but didn't have an AC.
Since I had so many, I used a series of envelope dividers to separate the
envelopes and hold them upright for better air circulation. The envelopes
looked a bit drab by the time I got the "rattle" I was seeking. More moisture
moved into the envelope itself. But it still did the job.
Now that I keep them in the office near the computer they are in air
conditioning and the envelopes stay nice and clean (looking). I snip the corner of
the envelope when I'm ready to plant. I often think how close I've mimicked
commercial seed packs.
