Illoquin: Yes, putting the babies into the garage is OK. Trudi says any unheated space is OK. I also threw a blanket over some when we got down to single digits. But I only did that with the germinated, more tender seedlings. If a container hasn't germinated the temp won't matter.

At the suggestion of a kind member on another forum I bought some sterilite containers and put the sprouts in there. I had lost some lupine sunrise to the freeze (sown too early.). It worked great and I think I'll do that this year. The attached photo was taken on the first day of spring, March 21. I think the temp got to single digits. I put the sprouted containers into the sterilites. The ones in the open half of a dog carrier had not sprouted yet. All were fine.
