I just sent seeds two weeks ago to someone in NC, near Raleigh , he is one of my now 7 seed producers,he wanted them ASAP to get them out and growing before the hot humid temps appeared,as they can and do.

My brother and Family moved from up here in NYS to NC in 2005, he's about 20 miles north of Asheville and his temps there are almost he same as up here.

And I would only take in my hardening off ones if rainy weather appeared or the temps got too low at night.

Thanks Carolyn
Ill go a bit slower with the process. There's plenty of time. I thought too not to bring them back inside unless the weather dictated so.
I'm about 50 miles west of Raleigh
