I'm running out of room under my lights, and need to move some annuals in order to transplant some more of my flats. The question is which ones can I move early. None of them are ready to actually go into the garden yet. I don't want to plant until early to Mid May, but I need to make way before my little guys become rootbound.

Somewhere, I saw a quote from Suzy on moving annuals outside. This year, I started marigolds (they are almost ready to begin blooming), geraniums, thithonia, dahlia, vinca (cooler selection), butterfly weed (ascelpsias T & C), bachelor's buttons, lady in red salvia, calendula, blanketflower, spider mums, cactus zinnia, pinwheel zinnia, and a blue annual salvia.

The weather is turning colder again this week. I think it is going to be in the 50's during the days, maybe low 40's a couple of nights.
