Will protect them from the wind as well.
Use the row cover when you transplant them into the ground for protection from bugs and cold weather. I will keep my row covers on well into June, I find alot of stuff grows better under them, we just have such cool nights here, it seems to help with that. I have a lot of issues with flea beetles and the covers keep them under control. Flea beetles are pure evil.

I've started peas, spaghetti squash, pickling cucumbers and tons of beats, i'll also be doing cabbage, corn and hot peppers.
i've been putting them out all day getting them used to it.
I did some seeds in soil and some in rapid rooters, the rapid rooters are awesome, crazy roots, huge difference.
