Jay - We are in the same weather pattern and have been hardening brassicas on the east side of a porch. Two hours of sun the first day then into the shade, several hours the next day and after a week take them from the porch and put them into full sun. No problem so far, except the groundhogs. We lost about 60% of our first broccoli planting to them. Good luck - mac
Quoting Jay Sleichter
I am needing some ideas or advice. I have over 500 broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussel Sprout seedlings that need to get planted out soon. They are growing in my basement grow room in a cool 70-72 degrees. Outside it is 95-102 with very high humidity. 8-10 day forecast says more of the same. The night time temps are still in the mid and upper 70's. I am afraid if I move them out to harden them off, in a high tunnel, it will shock and stress them too much.
Any ideas or do I even need to worry about this.
Thanks,
Jay
