The problems that you are having with the seeds may have more to do with not getting them planted at the proper time. I'll be posting a few articles over the next week or so dealing with issues involving growing vegetables from seeds verses transplants.

I wonder though if it's more economical to buy seeds and sprout them myself. I find I lose less when I use the transplants. I tried seeds before but my cabbage and broccoli bolted. I just don't know if I'm doing it right or if my soil is wrong. I have the space to grow much more but I think I don't have such green fingers. Any comment would be great many thanx.

Try <a href=http://www.veggiegardeningtips.com/happy-tomato-plants" rel="nofollow">tickling the seedlings</a> prior to setting them out into the garden. Also , beans aren't the easiest seedling to transplant anyway and usually do better when they are direct seeded right into the garden.

Seedlings can be stressed or burned even through a cloud cover and a row cover isn't going to provide shade, but will increase the temperatures that your transplants will have to contend with. I've taken transplants and cheated when setting them out under certain conditions but there is some risk any time you do so!
