I thought I could grow bee balm/Monarda seedlings that started outside last fall over the winter, but it's not going well.

Wow, seems early. I guess it depends on where you live. I'm in Philly. Where are you, billb?

I don't have much luck with onions and iceburg lettuce , I think it goes from too cold to too hot too quick here.

Southeastern Ma - about the same weather/season as Long Island/Cape Cod. It's about a month early for peppers, but I can slow them down a little with cool nights in a unheated hobby greenhouse. Seems to work better than trying to start them late and push them with heating pads.
Leaf lettuce, arugula/rocket can take cool nights in the greenhouse growing in gutters sections. It's 66 degrees in there on a sunny day now when it is 20 outside so a couple more weeks and the odds of a pot freezing overnite are pretty slim.
Petunias can be slow to start, even Waves although they sprout quick.

I planted onion "sets" for the first time last year, and had great results!

Dunno, but the tiny seedlings had zero chance of survival outdoors in pots. Interested to see what percentage of the bulbs I planted in the fall survived the deep freezes.

night time lows here in SoCal are only in the mid 40's so no worries about freezing here... don't even have to cover the garden plot most nights :-)
