If your babies are truly winter sown in its purest form, you can plant out when they have their first set of true leaves. If you have babied them in the hoophouse or otherwise encouraged early germination you should wait.

They have been sitting in their two liter bottles since they were sown. They've made it through snow and single digits. They'll be going into the same partly sunny areas like where they were born.

I guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. :)

Token they will be fine to plant...hollyhocks are tough pretty much anyway.

Good job!!!

Well it's just not the hollyhocks. Those, I'm not worried about at all. I know they can take the cold.

Here's what I had sprouts of on Saturday. I may have more now, but I doubt they have their first true leaves. Anything I should NOT plant this week? Back to normal temperatures next week, 50s/upper 20s.
