Oh yeah, good to go.. Did you get them used to the sun, wind and air outside already?


I planted spinach seeds 2 weeks ago. They are finally sprouting. I just transplanted my Cauliflowers and Cabbage in ground. Soil is damn cold down 3 inches. Gees.

Day #4.

No more cart now. Just all the plants exposed to the elements for 5 hours today. Air, wind, temp, indirect sun.

Pine tree serves for many nice purposes! I gave them only 1 hour of direct sun today.






Eggplant and Bell Peppers. Looking amazing!






Hot Peppers.

Day #5 of the harden off process.


6 hours of shade and now 1 hour only of direct sun, then inside they go. I don't want to stress them more even in the shade. They only been used to outside 5 days now. Leaves still thin and fragile.





With yet another cold blast coming, I'm glad they aren't in the ground yet. 50s during the day and maybe 30s at night coming Sunday and Monday.

Bringing them all inside before it rains too hard. They only been outside for 6 days so far.


Peppers and Eggplants look amazing! Can't wait to put them in the ground. (Next week)

They all look beautiful and healthy. I started heirloom cherry tomatoes from last year's seeds. They're still in smallish pots but they've been going outside for three days in a row. In at night, of course. This is northern MA where it hasn't started to rain yet but it's supposed to.
