I do basically the same thing. Germinate in the basement with lights and
heat mats. Then when transplanted into pots, transfer to the
cold frame. Flats are out on tables during the day, at night they are
under the tables and the tables are covered with a couple layers of poly (the
old beat up stuff that I saved). I put a heat source under the
tables. It's still plenty cold at night in Colorado in the spring so
I have to insulate well -- thus the tables and layers of plastic. Beth's
tent system sounds intriguing though. A neat trick for a heat source
is strings of C8 and C9 Christmas lights as the heat source. They
give off quite a bit of heat and the heat is distributed along the string of
lights. Not sure they would work where the volume of the space they are
heating is very large -- mine tends to be not too high or wide as I'm under the
tables.
