bad roll of the dice

My gamble sowing some veg plants this early in the season fared badly.  My plants germinated promptly and I moved them to the greenhouse.  The temperature promptly plummeted.  The temperatures last week hit all-time record lows, with night-time temperatures around 10 degrees.  It was a bit warmer than that in the greenhouse, but my cabbage and lettuce seedlings died.  Pea seedlings are iffy, while it looks like broccoli, broccoli-raab and cauliflower seedlings survived OK.  We presently have about 6 inches of snow on the ground, and more snow mixed with rain is forecast for the next week.  Bleah!  Oh well, throwing caution to the wind, I am replanting everything.
