So, I checked the 10 day forecast... and it MAY be safe to set them out, but Sunday night/Monday morning it's supposed to get down to 33 degrees F, which is just a tad too close to freezing for my taste. Since the tobacco, tomatoes, and peppers evolved from tropical plants, I just don't think it would be a good idea to expose them to temps that low just yet.I told my hubby I want that sign for my birthday!!!
Most of the rest of the time, lows are in the low to mid 40's, and I think they can survive that.
Might go ahead and plant the beans and corn tomorrow, though, since they shouldn't sprout until after the low temps are over.
I'm also thinking of building a garden box, sort of like a window planter, for kitchen herbs on the deck railing, close to the kitchen. Some of the herbs are going to get set directly into the ground in the yard, especially perennials like sage, but it would be convenient for Grace to have some of them growing close to hand for the kitchen, basil and thyme in particular.

We are having crap weather here! Frost every night. I have been covering the blueberries with chicken feed bags at night.
I have the same problem, my veggies inside are getting big, but it isn't getting warm enough for at least 2 more weeks to put them in the ground. I have a little shelf greenhouse, that I am going to start putting them outside in, during the day, but will have to tote them all in every night.
Maybe tomorrow, but probably Wednesday.
@ Ab, those are great! I love the look of them.
