I am worrying about seedlings that have already sprouted in their containers. They have sprouted really quickly and we have had cold and warm weather, back and forth. They are doing great. But it will be down to 31* tonight and again on Thurs night. 31* is the predicted low anyway. I know that the seeds are supposed to be exposed to cold/ freezing... but what about brand new seedlings?
We did an awful lot of hard work on these to lose them. I am thinkling it is supposed to be ok, because the seeds are supposed to "know" when to sprout, but I wonder if I confused them by sowing them after it started to warm up a little. In Texas it doesn't stay warm when it "warms up" in winter. And it doesn't stay "cold" when we have a cold front. It goes back and forth until our 15 minute spring! LOL

This pic was taken when we had done about half of them
