Seedling transplanting question

I think that for most of them it would be safe to move them outside in the near future since our days lately have been in the upper 60's and nights in the upper 50's. It certainly wouldn't hurt to take the seedlings out during the day, but don't place them in sunlight for a week or so until they're hardened. If the temperatures drop into the 50's or lower at night, haul them back into the house. Some seedlings such as cucumbers can't handle cold night temperatures. I don't think I'd plant sunflowers inside but sow directly where I want them to grow. They grow so rapidly that starting inside isn't necessary, but if you've started them, by all means plant and leave them outside as long as there is no danger of frost. Sunflower seedlings that are planted and grow outside handle cold temperatures well. Don't plant most seedlings below their initial level into the soil. It isn't necessary. Even planting tomatoes deeply isn't necessary, but if they are too leggy, they do develop roots along the stem. Personally, I don't like leggy tomatoes. John |
