. . .respond well to this procedure as well! They've been babied in the greenhouse all winter long but now you want them to get all the advantages of the summer warmth, so out they go. They need a little hardening off time as well.

Very good and detailed information that will surely save many baby plants this Spring. Thanks!

You're right! When I buy plants at the nursery, if they're on the "outside shelves" and look like they've been fending for themselves for a while there, I don't worry too much... but if I pick them up from inside the protected area, I know they need to be gradually acclimated to outside conditions rather than just thrust out into my garden.
