You can't put them out in the garden already, can you?

I think they would survive if they are hardened off. I have had broccoli survive the winter in the garden with no protection. To be on the safe side, Crealcritter could use a low tunnel of the white frost cloth...can't remember the name of it...remax?

@Rammy, I like Fertilome potting mix, too. It is slightly coarser than Pro-mix, but still ok. You can probably get this at any garden center or Lowes. Fertilome is a nation wide brand.
One thing to be aware of, for anybody, is whether your potting mix comes with extra fertilizer or moisture retainers. It would be easy to over-fertilize or over-water baby plants. It will say if it has those additives, on the bag.

Not sure, BUT I think that tender seedlings won't survive, but full sized plants Will. We had a "no winter", 2011-2012, and I had spinach that resurrected itself. We were harvesting it in March.

Pathetic... I will not set out hardy seedlings until I see overnight temps will remain at least 25 degrees or above. Especially onions because they will bolt if exposed to 20 degrees or lower for an extended amount of time.
Looks like march 7th is the start of my window here in southern Illinois.

We have weather dipping into the 20's next week. Maybe after that I can set out my cool weather seedlings.
