The traditional way of growing sweet peas is to sow them in October and keep the plantlets over winter in a cold frame, so I guess your zip-up cover will do much the same job. Lavender is surprisingly hardy, except for L. stoechas. It would probably be OK, but you could keep some seed back as insurance and sow it in spring if the autumn-sown ones succumb to the cold.
