Default Zuchini seedlings

From: (Tempus Fugitive)









I have started some zucs from seed (dwarf upright bush type) and the
sprouts are about 4-6 inches and starting to get their second set of
leaves. I'm not sure when I can start hardening them off to put out
in my raised beds. I'm in the Seattle area so there's no danger of
frost anymore. I'm only keeping one bush so I guess I can afford a
little trial and error, but any help would be appreciated.

Squash is a warm weather crop--just the absence of frost is not a criterion--I
am not familiar with the northwest but considering your latitude i would think
you have jumped the gun and your planting is a waste of time.as you will not be
able to hold the plants until good outdoor planting time. here in the mid
atlantic squash is planted around mid May.
