Default Hardening Off questions

You just might be getting too excited if you are constantly hardening off!!!

Find out when is the last frost date in your area. Don't be fooled by a few
premature warm days. Another cold snap could kill off much of what you move
outdoors if you do it too early.

This is the first year I've started seeds indoor and mostly they're doing
well. I would like to start hardening them off soon since the weather is

so
nice and looks like it will stay that way. Even though I'm in zone 5, it's
been getting down to only about 40 at night and in the day it's been
averaging a high of 68-75. This week is expected to get to 80. In another
thread someone said definitely don't start hardening off in zone 5 yet,

but
with these temperatures is there any reason not to? Maybe I'm just too
excited to get these little guys outside! :-)

TIA,
Leslie, zone 5 in the deserts of Eastern WA
