Miracle Gro Mini Greenhouse

Has anyone had success with starting early spring seedlings in one of these?

My cool-weather seedlings always get too leggy inside my house so I thought I'd try one out. I plan on putting it up against a south-facing side of my house for shelter but am unsure if they would survive a frost in it.

I have used them, but if a hard frost or freeze is expected I always moved the plants inside, or the whole greenhouse into a shed.

I've never started seeds in them. We aren't warm enough here early enough to utilize one of these greenhouses fully, but I have used them to harden off plants, and for short term growing.

You do also need to be careful in windy conditions, and also you need to open it up if it's sunny so it doesn't heat up too much during the day.

Thank you!! I'm hoping staking it right up against the house will help keep it from blowing over, we're luckily in a little valley but that doesn't stop trees from blowing over all the time. I'll definitely plan on opening it up!
