Remote. Cover 'em up if you can. If you can't, wait a week - until it warms up a bit - and germ some more seeds.

I live in Denmark..and the weather was not supposed to be like this.

my plants are about 10 inches now, but the stems are relatively thin. theres a lot of trees and low branches around the spots where I put them, but I dunno if that helps. the temp also dropped to 32 degrees last night.

I've had plants out in -4c and they were OK. I'm north like you. If you can, cover.

if at all possible cover them up, throw a 5 gallon bucket over them or even just burry them in straw

came back a little while ago...the forest is all white and I didnt spot the area. Ill have to wait till its better weather outside before I go check on them again.
I see now why a gps would come in handy

I have always had this idea...

In my drive way when I have my own house if it is in an area that gets snow I want to embed small strips of tubing that heat up and melt snow on impact. It would probably work well for growing outdoors too!

I plan on getting a greenhouse when I eventually buy a house. the tubing idea sounds cool, but wouldnt that require loads of electricity? or do you have another kind of system in mind?

Solar water heaters and piping?

Pricey? Probably.

yea straw, do it with my veg garden every year because i always plant too early, if you cover your plant with straw(hay) it will insulate them, the snow won't actually settle on the plant but on the hay.

Snow insulates too, hence snow caves.
