Am I asking for trouble????

In an effort to get more growth earlier next year from my Elephant Ears, Caladium, Calla Lilies and Canna (all grown in pots), I'm wondering if the following idea would work....I'm thinking of covering my picnic table with clear plastic and tipping the pots on their sides, then anchoring the plastic so it won't blow off. Given our relatively mild winter here in Seattle, I'm hopin this would give them a head start in the spring rather than having to take time to put down roots again. Any thoughts? An alternative would be to place them in a deep, wide window well and covering that with plastic, slanting it so rain wouldn't collect on top of the plastic.
