Not quite - our seedlings are in our house.  But we keep our thermostat at
50 during the nighttime - that's not a huge difference.  

And some of the seedlings are certainly even cooler, because some are in
the bay window.  The bay window sticks out from the house (with its own
little 'roof' and 'floor') and is definitely cooler than the rest of the
house.

Good planets are hard to find; let's take care of
the one we have.
