How to motivate a guy? The first word that pops into MY mind is "beer".

I found these in the Plant Database ... maybe you could let drop that you have high hopes for the "Beer Plants" if only you can put them out into cold frames soon enough ...

Leontopodium beerianum
Boronia beeronensis
Commersonia beeronensis
Gladiolus debeerstii
Habenaria debeerstiana

If you have lots of glass doors or windows, and some thick wood, making some temporary cold frames need not take a long time. Maybe just lay down cardboard over grass and weeds, then the cold frame over that. Next yar is soon enough for permanent cold frames.

If you have any south-facing structure or wall, you might even just lean the glass panels along the wall and hope no high winds come along.

It was very refreshing to see a new seed-starter jump directly to the stage of "way too many seedlings". It took me years to become SUCCESSFULLY that excessive.
