Water and give a little shade till recovered............
I wouldn't put anything outside until danger of frost has passed. Also, seedlings need to be hardened off, that is introduced to the environment slowly.
Where do you live?I usually plant outside after the last first and also it depends on what you are planting?
TYPO :That's last frost
Hi Tonia. When you plant in doors you need to harden the plants off first. You start by putting them outside for 5 minutes and keep increasing the time each day for about 2 weeks. If you decide to plant them in the ground and the temps are going to be in the 30's or 40's at night you will want to cover them up. I use poles to hold up old towels or sheets, so they don't crush them. You can leave the ones you planted and see if the roots are still good but most likely they aren't Sorry.
Unless it is an early, spring type plant, you should wait until the soil temp is at least fifty degrees. If it is going to be freezing or close, always cover or protect the plants until it warms up in the morning. I still can't even get into my garden yet, there is still snow drifts melting and too muddy to work with yet.
hold off until the absolute danger of frost or cold is over
Thanks for everyone's help I guess I'm starting over. Which isn't that bad it's just waiting for the seeds to turn into a plant to transplant outside is the hard part(patience isn't in my dictionary). This may help me learn because who knows I may have a great garden this year.
