Hi Cindy, I have this same dilemma. My seedlings are all growing in pots
outside along the back fence. Fortunately they are under a large maple
tree, so that when temperatures dropped to about 20 degrees Friday night I
just scooped up a bunch of leaves and covered the pots. It seemed to do
the trick. Are you so fortunate to have a large pile of leaves nearby??
