Each cover is snapped in place and the containers are placed in a shelf in my green house.
One month (February 9th, 2008) later I took a peak and I saw one little green knob trying to push it's way into daylight. Since then, today is the 15th about 3 more are pushing above the ground. I never expected to see anything this fast. The other two containers show nothing. Another thing I noticed is that I put to much water in the container when I began. I think it not needed to be equal to the height of the cinder.
