There's a VERY good Facebook group called Ontario Grows. A friend of mine in Barrie runs it. There are a lot of very helpful people in the group that will share all kinds of tips from living soil to pest control. I suggest you check it out no matter your experience, and especially if you are new to growing. It has a heavy focus on weed, but also has a lot of gardening enthusiasts.

I found some seeds given to me by a great GTAMer. They're outside daily from about 9am to 7Pm or so to prevent any freezing issues.

Hopefully they take. 4 plants started.

When it comes to frost, I learned that temperature on weather sites are taken at 4 feet above ground level. Also, temperature can drop up to -1ºC per vertical foot. So from the 4 foot mark, the temp could drop up to -4ºC. Frost happens at 0ºC. So as long as the weather forecast calls for 5ºC or higher, you don't need to worry about frost. If you, wisely, don't trust the forecasts 100%, all you need to do is cover the seeding with a margarine dish, or a bucket, depending on it's size, although since yours are in pots, you can leave them outside as long as the temp is forecast to be 5ºC or higher.

They’re about 4ft off the ground in separate containers…should be good all this week as forecast temps are all +5C the rest of this week.

Might hide them tonight just in case. Also placing them in the yard space that has close to 8-10hrs of sunlight.

Container on the ground and an old towel thrown over the top and it is hard to get anything inside the towel to freeze as the heat radiates up from the ground. Even with my raised herb bed, the towel trick survives a lot of frost.
