Down here (SE NC) we had 3 nights of freezing ( Not just frost ) temperatures going all the way down to 20F. I hope that nasty weather is behind us. The lowest in 15 days forecast is 35F. It could well be wrong and go down to freezing. I hope not though.
So I will wait until no lows are under 40f, to get busy planting out my maters. Some of them are getting too tall. But I would not call them "lanky". They are healthy with thick stems, nice foliage.
On the positive side my cole crops are doing great. They didn't budge at those freezing temps.
