I suppose there is a certain amount of safety in numbers, in that it's unlikely that mice will destroy ALL your seeds / seedlings! In my case, the loss of six or seven seeds would be a disaster.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-28427342965113408742017-04-21T08:25:10.460+00:002017-04-21T08:25:10.460+00:00Nothing finer than a greenhouse full of babies.
