I've potted up and I think last night was the last frost. I've had a tray of artichokes and snapdragons outside. I truly wanted to get those transplanted this weekend but my husband is racing so we're off to the races. I think...before I leave with the kids I might transplant everything to the beds and to the ground, and water well. We're just gone two days and we have a dog sitter here that can water too so I'm not super worried. I don't have any pots planted either so we're in good shape.
All of these are now 3-4x as large as this photo. I'm starting to bring everything upstairs and outside for several hours. You're supposed to introduce everything slowly over about a week and to be honest... WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT
So I don't. I put everything outside when the temp hits 38 degree or higher and then I set on our steps or in the shade until after dinner. Because that's suddenly when I remember to bring everything in.
I'm also a very terrible seedling caregiver. I'm a person that over waters too much and gives too much love because I'm just so excited to get outside after a winter of nothing. Don't be like me, give your seedlings time to dry out a bit.
Artichokes have survived!
Snapdragons are ready for the garden beds. They're going at the edges this year in my raised beds.
