I tend to start mine in modules - this doesn't have to be done inside. I put trays outside with lids on. 

They've all come up.

If I sow direct (which I will for some field beans) I will cover the area with fleece or a net tunnel until they are up. 

I use strips of wood and/or bricks to weigh the edges down.
