We pretty much all know what a nursery tray looks like, ince they haven't sprouted yet you could just put the tray inside? or throw a blanket over it or...... are you serious, you need help to figure this out and you are Dr. I will not be visiting your clinic.lol VV:blsmoke:

I know that some type of fabrics is sold to prevent frost burn on small trees, rose bushes and such... might be worth taking a look?

If the plants are covered you can sustain a drop of up to 10 degrees in temperature. The better the cover the more protection it offers. A light frost should not be a problem.
