Short Cut to Hardening Off Your Vegetable Transplants

PICTURES ARE LAST PICTURES BEFORE TRANSPLANTING THEM INTO GARDEN

Another good reason for transplanting during an extended stretch of cloudy and rainy days is that if you’re careful, lucky, and can gauge the weather forecast accurately, it will enable you to cheat and save time when it comes to hardening off of your delicate vegetable transplants.

A cloud cover usually brings milder temperatures and of course will reduce the amount of direct sun rays bombarding those vulnerable little transplants. Add in the comforting rain showers and your plants will receive plenty of moisture to help ease the transition into their new living quarters.

So when the forecast is wet and gloomy, you can brighten it up by using the occasion to welcome your new plants and get them acclimated to the outdoor garden. If you time your transplanting to coincide with favorable weather conditions you will make life easier on the plants and get them off to a faster start out in the vegetable bed.
