Do you mean sown seeds or seedlings?

I think I would have allowed them to thaw naturally rather than force them as would have happened if in the wild (self seeded).

I say this based on the knowledge of what morning sun can do do on certain plants ( not necessarily sweet peas) and no other reason.

Seedlings might rupture hence my query seeds or seedlings.

Checked on my sweetpeas this morning and they are in a cold greenhouse.  Its missing its door too :)
With the severe frosts, I have to say been very lucky none have been damaged at all, in fact they seem rather happy in there.

Mine have been sitting in a coldframe, probably just germinating. Time will tell.
