Portable Hot House

It's been pretty cool here in the morning, so I decided to re-arrange to make the temp a little higher for my little babies to sprout a little quicker. I had just started some in my little plastic underbed storage containers alone, but that seemed a bit too chilly this morning inside it, so this is my solution.
These are shoe box size Sterilite boxes that I found at Walmart for $1/each!
Again, a closed bottle of water for temp and weight control.
My label sticks are paint stirrers you can get for free at any place that sells paint.
And last, but not least, my "pellet" seed starter with the seeds in it.

Stack 'em up!  FYI - I'll be using this big crate for my carrots and beans  when I finish sprouting all these plants.

And here's the side view.  This container is in full sun on a white table.   When I stuck my hand in there about 1 pm, it was probably 80 degrees in there which is excellent temperature for sprouting seed even though it was only 70 degrees outside the box.  They should sprout pretty quickly at this rate...
