Get Your Small Plants Ready For Planting

 Seedlings need to be hardened off. Hardening off plants means introducing them gradually to the outdoor envirement. The best method to harden plants is to move them outdoors on a mild day. Hopefully on a mild and cloudy one. Leave the plants in partial shade protected from wind. Allow them more and more direct light and wind each day. Thus they will become accustomed to their new home and better take direct sunlight. After a week the plants should be ready to be transplanted.
