Doubtful, and hardly worth it. Best grown from seed or buy plants in the spring.

Agreed, the tunnel will get down just as cold as outside. And they are very easy, cheap and quick to grow from seed.

You could plant them in your tunnel and hope they self-seed before the cold kills them. (Or leave them where they are and hope for the same). Then when the seedlings get going next spring you can pot them up or transplant them out to where you want them when it's warm enough.

Make sure they are dry. But keep them somewhere dry and cool. Some people keep theirs in the fridge.
