Interesting, why green tea in the water?

Hi all! I live in San , Tx and am wondering what best techiniques to use

when the weather heats up? I have been sprouting sunflower seeds (hulled) in

mason jars all winter and they are great! Unfortunately now that it is getting

warmer (not today but there have been a couple nice days lately and it will

inevitably start heating up soon I hope!) When I put the jar in my window (not

direct sunlight) and it warms up to about 70 in our house I come home and there

is a lot of condensation inside the jar and the seeds have rotted right in the

jar, the smell is awful and I usually just toss the whole jar it smells so bad!

I can only rinse in the morning and late afternoon when I get home. We are soon

going to be living in our r.v. so it will be much much harder to keep a cool

temperature. Any thoughts on sunflower seeds especially? I am addicted now and

couldn't imagine not having them every day. I just purchased a salad spinner and

hope that will help

with more air circulating but am wondering about what to do when it is time to

green? My salad spinner does not have a clear outer bowl or lid, should I just

leave the colander part out in the window? Maybe open the window to get a breeze

in? Will they dry out too much? Thanks so much for all the great info you guys

have on here every single day :-) -
