Are there any vegetables that you can propagate from seed when the temps get down to almost freezing...or should I rely on transplants? (NC Zone 7)

There are many cold hardy vegetables. This site lists the kinds of vegetables you might try. I also buy seed that specifys cold hardy or early. Note too that some of the varieties I try prefer cold so bolt as soon as it gets warm. [HYPERLINK@www.coopext.colostate.edu]

I just sewed onions and chives on my heat mat. Once they get big enough,I sperate them out into cells then put them in unheated greenhouse to grow at a cooler tmeps so they won't take so much hardening off before I set them out in the garden in Feb. I may use lo polytunnels over them until late March...just in case.


Edited to say: according to my BWI schedule,it says I can still sew spinach,turnips,and radishes...also can plant out onion sets
