I uncovered all plants and they are okay except the four cucumbers are flat but they weren’t good before the ice. I had already planted more of those seeds a few days ago and they are under the grow lamp (but they are in Jiffy seed starter - more about that down this post). The Walking Onions look no different than they did before the ice and I didn’t cover them. Those things must be made of plastic to not flinch when it’s freezing and they are iced over.
I am very disturbed about this Jiffy Seed Starter - not a single seed has sprouted in any cup (9 cups) with this stuff in it. That includes Tromboncino Squash and Deck Corn and other important seeds. The ones in Espoma I have used before and ran out using it this time, have all come up including the Deck Corn in one. I have another bag of Jiffy Seed starter but Jiffy is the pits it seems. I have looked on Home Depot, Lowes, and Walmart websites and none of them have this Espoma. I’m going to have to order it from Amazon and get it here as quickly as possible.
There is something wrong if everything in Espoma is up and none in Jiffy is up.
I pre-watered some Jiffy last night and this morning planted three cups with each having three Deck Corn seeds in them. Have no idea if these will come up but thought I should try it with pre-watered Jiffy.
The “T” squash comes up fast so I’ll wait until I get Espoma to replant those seeds.

I lost a few more in the cold frame, but not much more. I'll be restarting some peppers and tobacco.

Of seeds I planted in Miracle Grow seed starter on 2-24, 50% came up-the tycoon tomatoes, and toy choi. The other 50% Tromboncino Squash seeds you sent, and some Big Bertha Peppers were all no shows.
Of the Seeds I planted on 1-24 Tycoon and Aroma tomatoes all came up. Streamliner cucumbers, 25% came up, and zukes, and yellow squash, 50% came up.
