High Day Temps - Low Night Temps??

18 years ago

Thinking of putting my brugs on the front porch this weekend to start the 'hardening' off period! Yay! Day time temps are ranging in the 60's & 70's. Night time temps range anywhere from the low 40's to the mid 60's. I really need the extra space in the plant room to finish off seedlings (but I'm not in any hurry to get them out - yeah, right!!) In case of a frost or light freeze they would be easy to bring back in. After the two day freeze that hit us at the end of April 2007 - I'm just being a little bit more cautious this year! Any thoughts on this? Come on - let's hear them! :)

I've started putting mine out, i'm in zone 7 too, weather wise theyshould do well for you, if youcan keep the rain from pouring down on them , youwant to control the water flow not the rain. This time of year, we get alot of rains, and it's bad on my brugs, i've even lost some to rot, (the smaller ones) when it rains so much. Mine are still in the greenhouse, have been taking outall the other plants , saving the brugs for a few more weeks.

Mike move them out and keep a close eye on the weather! If it should dip below 40 I think your game plan should work.

Well my next 10 days is showing lows in the upper 50's and highs in the 70 and 80's so everything is going out as soon as I can get it all done, lol.

They lied. It was only in the low 60's today, lol. I left for work this morning in shorts and had to run back in and change. It was chilly with the rain.

Temps look good around my way also....I'm NOT trusting DH
to check the weather for me ...I have to be as sure as
possible before I drag them from the garage. I'm quite
anxious though.

Correct me if i am wrong, but the temps on the east coast/midwest are extremely fluctuant. I've been seeing how you can get 70 degrees in the middle of winter, then freezing temps the next day. I wouldnt be able to deal with such drastic changes! lol. Here in Cal, the temps are for the most part constant and predictable, with the coldest month (december) in the 50s for highs and 30s for lows. Then it gradually warms up, so when we see 70s and 80s in March, we can expect to stay in that range until summer. then the REAL heat starts (90-110+) for weeks on end.

We have been having some freaky weather here. Very drastic weather changes. Thurs night I don't remember the low, but ay 11pm it was 51..Sat night the temps went down into the 20's..where the heck that come from? Now tomorow we're supposed to be at almost 70. They keep changing our forecast so much you can't trust it for sh!t. I can check in the morn, then by the afternoon its completely dif. Wasn't supposed to rain today, supposed to be in the 50's and partly cloudy. nope, its in the 40's and rainy. How do these weather forecasters keep their jobs??? Jersey just sux anyway.
