necessity of uppotting and tray for manging starters?

My very small greenhouse does not have supplemental heat, so at nights it can get below freezing and I cannot leave newly sprouted plants in it at night. Using the 6 packs as opposed to 4" pots is pretty much a must as I cannot possibly move all of my plants in and out of the house in larger pots. I simply adjust my timing of when I start my seeds so that they are ready to be planted out when the frost date hits. My frost date here is May 20 (even though I am in 7B, I live in the mountains at 2,400' elevation). I haven't started tomatoes yet, but have my broccoli, cabbage, Brussel sprouts & onions going. Everyone has different conditions and resources and we just have to adjust to what we have available to us.
