    If your referring to those bedding plants bought from garden centres around now, Petunias, etc. then I would say a minimum of 50F, 10C, and as warm as it gets during the day, you dont want a check in growth, also be careful about the watering. Low temps and too wet compost is not good.

    Taping Bubble Plastic

    Yes, it's sold as 'tunnel tape' or 'all weather tape' amonst other things. I think i've seen it in B&Q, it's usually clear with a green tint, expect to pay �£5 to �£10 a 4 inch wide roll. So...

    You could just lay some sleepers on the ground and screw it to them. But you will have to watch the height. There is nothing to stop you digging down several inches inside the sleepers to give you more head room. Just make sure it is not in a place where it could fill up with water.
