All I do is initially leave them out in the daytime for a week or so, then the same length outside all the time. Just keep an eye out for frosts if they are frost tender and whip them in at night during the second phase.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks DD, I was just wondering that we might miss you when you are away for a week (ah yes I remember it  ::) ) I never missed even my wife and kid when they were away (I am serious)
