On to round two. The seeds sprouted so I cut a piece of floating row cover in about a 3 inch wide strip across the top of the fabric like floating row cover material.
I cut a length of that piece I would say around 18 inches long, bunching and tucking it inside the cup rim around the stem of the plant. The first cup had both seeds sprout so that was a little trickier, but I made sure to tuck in between the stems to make sure all the soil was covered.
In the past few days I finally planted my winter squash seeds. I used old yogurt, cottage cheese, and a tub from salad greens to box in my seeds this time, again cutting the bottom off just like the cups. I used floating row cover to cover the top this time and poked some air holes with the skewer again.
On a side note, I always collar my newly planted tomatoes with paper, and am doing the same for my peppers this year in an effort to hopefully avoid those nasty borers as well.
