Hmm. that sounds like the right time. Not sure why your plants are so big. I will be potting up today into gallon pots.

Evening temps should be 45+ when you plant out with no 30's predicted for the next week. Row covers (sometimes called seed blankets) are helpful to keep your plants safe. You want to plant on a cloudy day, non-windy day so the plants get time to acclimate. I know non-windy days is not something you have a lot of in Corpus though. So maybe set up some kind of block or plywood to block the wind.
