I live in NW Tenn & repotted my ferns about a month ago. Didn't have enough pots for them all so I stuck a couple of leftovers in the ground in my compost pile. It's rained & snowed since then, and they actually look better than the ones I repotted & put back in the greenhouse. They can tolerate cold really well. I've put out about half my potted ones & they are fine.

Can't help you with the other stuff. Still have mine along with seedlings & cuttings in the greenhouse. It's been pretty cold here this week.

The impatiens are going out soon. Gotta get them repotted.

Sorry, what is the question?

Q: are there any special instructions/tips on the best way to re acclamating plants that have been in a GH that are now coming outside again? (ie: seedlings need hardening off)

Or can they just come out, end of story.

FYI: I have aluminet 70% on my GH, if that matters any.

PS: I also have begonias in addition to what I listed before.

I moved my jasmines out about a month ago. Last year's leaves are hardened so they won't burn, and you want this year's leaves to bud into the sun. I don't protect mine from the light (they get about six hours of full sun per day), and they do fine right out of the gh.

I carried my flats out every day it was over 60F to harden the young plants off. Tonight is their 1st night outside. We're having an unusually cool wet spring here. It's in the mid 40s. I hope they do OK through the night. I also took the geraniums and ferns out yesterday.
