Re: Frozen seed

Karen, 

In a word, NO!  You may lose a few individual plants if these happen to 
be just poking their heads out... But over all you'll likely get more 
seedlings as a result of cycles of freeze-thaw.  Essentially all 
temperate-zone plants are adapted to these conditions.  Even when the 
pots are frozen like bricks.
