If you have room, you might try innoculating the logs and then putting them in a large cardboard box in your house or heated garage. You then cover the logs in the box with real fresh, clean sawdust and then cover the top with plastic sheeting. About 60-70 degrees is about perfect, and this method eliminates contamination and drying- which are the 2 biggest enemies of log culture growers. If you must wait till spring, be sure to keep the logs in a clean and cool environment away from sunlight, wind, rain, insects or dirt and where they will not lose any moisture- this is important. Using real fresh, fluffy, made-to-order spawn is also important. Old spawn that's been sitting in the fridge for 6 months usually sucks. Good luck!
