Default Starting lots of seeds outdoors before planting?

That sounds fine, but it doesn't sound like it will help with the problem of
something digging them up and eating them after they're in the ground.
Good luck with that aspect.

I agree with the others and suggest starting your seeds
indoors where the temperature is more steady. You can move
them outside right after they have sprouted.


I tried that with some peat pots indoors, but as soon as I put the
seedlings out, something is digging them up and/or eating them out
there. Squirrels? I mean I'm finding holes in the ground where I
planted the seedlings in the peat pots. Or eaten off tops.

So I'm thinking that I could start the seeds indoors, but I still
need a protected table with 1/4" wire cloth screen over it, to let
them get bigger before planing them in the ground. I might report
them there and let them grow into good sized seedlings before
actually planting?
