| If they are outside they may need some protection such as a hot cap or plastic bag over them ? Or are they wilting from the wind drying them out ? |

| Well I started the seeds indoor as the weather is not so great. The temperature is between 50 and 55. When it's little bright sunny outside, I keep the seedlings tray outside for few hours. Afterr reading your message I also feel that wind might have caused seedlings to wilt. |

| I use large clear plastic bags to protect seedlings from drying winds. Or the deeper clear covers for trays. |

I can plant 3-4 weeks earlier by using 5 gallon water jugs with bottom cut off. I dont touch or water for a month. Looks dumb but works. Has dropped to 28f without damage. PS. carpet looks dumb also but its worth less weeds. |
