Chillin' In The Garden
I've been trying to "harden off" my broccoli, cauli, and brussel sprouts but the weather here is very crazy. It is in the 60's one day and then in the 30's. I got everything outside in the cold frame for a each day a few days in a row but then had a few days of freezing cold and wind. I couldn't take them out on those days for risking wind damage plus it was way too cold. Now we're back to 40 degree days but no sun so the cold frame is not warming up at all. Question is how do I know when these plants are ready to go out? Do I have to have a certain amount of days in a row going out for them to be "hardened"? According to my calculations, they need to be outside by the end of next week but I don't want to kill them all. (40 plants!)
