Are you in pots or in the ground? I'm guessing still in pots being seedlings.



I look for night temps in the 55-60 range, looking at a 10 day forecast, the week before

my frost free date, before hardening off.

We have had some very warm weather but past experience keeps me from jumping 'the gun...sure enough we have a week ahead of rain and dips down to high 30's, low 40's.


Same here, so mine are staying put indoors at least for another week, despite the fact that space is getting really tight under the basement lights. If our overnight temps get to where they are staying above 50, then I'll set up my little mini greenhouse in the drivaway and move them out to it. If temps stay above 60, then I'll skip the greenhouse and just move them outside.
