Title: Hardening Off
Post by: alwayshopeful on April 24, 2009, 20:15

What happens if you harden things off really fast, i.e. bring them out on a nice sunny day and forget (with the help of a bottle of wine!) to bring them in again on a cold night.  Will they still grow well  ???

It could check their growth if cold enough, and kill them if there were frosts
