I planted spinach and chard from seeds about a week ago, under cover for one day (black plastic) because it was cold, then under corn stalks/leaves for a week. Today I peeked, and the seedlings are up. I left them uncovered during the day today for sunshine but rolled some fence wire out across the top so the stalks/leaves can cover for warmth at night but not touch. Not sure this will work. There are slugs in the corn stalks/leaves. I picked out the ones I could find and tossed them to the chickens, but there are, of course, many more. I probably should have started this process about a month ago.
