Bill Thanks for the info. I know I can use it and hopefully so can Kimberly

Kimberly- Welcome to the list! I offer you one way to provide the cover you
request for your boxes. There covers as designed are a quick and dirty
solution to cold, windy days. The covers will not withstand heavy rains as
designed (the covers as designed will not shed rain well- you will need to
tip off the collected rain or it may tear the plastic covers or flatten your
veggies!). 
 
What these covers do well is provide shelter from wind and some cold. The
covers will increase the temperature of the immediate area of your seedlings
as they tend to trap warmth. The covers also tend to maintain a higher level
of humidity and slow your soil's drying out. You will want to be nearby if
you have significant weather changes during the day to lift or drop the
covers with a stick or something so as to regulate the temperature.See the
link below for a picture and description of construction.

If anyone comes up with improvements or other designs I sure would like to
hear about it..
 
Hope this inspires you,
bill missen.
