Pippi:
These will go into regular cell packs and then back under the lights for a day or two. After that I take them out to my cold frame until ready to plant out. If the weather gets below 32 degrees I put a light bulb in the coldframe and cover over with tarp. As soon as we are past frost free I plant them out. As to rabbits and squirrels I always frustrated by them and never seem to when a batlle. Right now I have a number of pansies that are much smaller than they should be because the squirrels have dug them up.
