I know you need to harden things off in Spring and know what happens if you

I have Cannas and Pumpkins in the greenhouse that need to go out at some
stage over the next 3 weeks.
Do I need to harden them off first? Right now they are sitting in pots on
greenhouse staging.

Oi Dazza, just stare menacingly at the cannas, and maybe give one or two
of the pumpkins a swift Glasgow kiss. That should harden them up a bit.
They'll probably start effin' and blindin' which should be proof that
they're sufficiently hardened.

And get yer hair cut, and shave that stubble.

P.s. best to all yous yins ;-)
