As I work during the day I put them out this morning and will bring
them in when I get home.

Is this a safe way of doing it ?
Will several days of doing this be sufficient to allow me to plant
them
out this weekend ?

Cheers

Whatever you do, don't plant out your Ipomoeas early. They really hate
cold weather; if subjected to it the leaves go pale and the plants
refuse to grow. They don't seem to recover from it.
