Al, I actually put them outside in trimmed to size cardboard boxes to keep the sun from cooking the roots, and make sure the box is full as crowding them also helps to regulate temps some. Their outside time is very short, esp nowadays with triple digits for the past several weeks most days and no end in sight. These are my fall planting babies, a 4 day old wild everglades seedling and a need to be repotted now mini bell pepper that has suffered some bug bites and wind damage but will be stronger for it :) If anyone is close to me in West Texas I will happily share some of the everglades babies as I got 100% germ on 25 seeds in the baggies!! Collected water bottles from the local zoo so have plenty. I have 2 foot Naga Jolokias growing in these with 2 liter bottles and gotta get them repotted as they are trying to bloom. I like the rectangle juice bottles better than two liter as they are top heavy and have to be braced in some way, but the juice bottles have a larger base and are thicker plastic. Kathy
