The pots they where in where damaged by frost so put them in and am hopeing for the best i am so excited at my 1st attempt at growing from seed looking forward to the week end PLAY TIME AWATES

 

Sounds like you've done well on the cold frame FM.

You were right to get the plants in now, it's definitely not to early, if anything it's best to get them in before April really, that's when the ground really starts to dry out.

Play time awaits me to this weekend, going to get a lot of my seeds underway. Enjoy yourself!

 

Pics! Pics! LOL!!

 

It would help if you could angle the pallet/frame towards the Sun. Possibly by adding wedge shaped side panels to the sides. Cheers, Tony.

 

I made a cold frame though I only had double glazing units for the glass lids
quite heavy
Solution, went to car scrappies and bought hatch back gas struts 2 for £1
