Mine have been hardening off outdoors and have had a couple nights right in the mid 40's. Still seem to be very happy. They are inside tonight though. Supposed to drop near 40 tonight.Moving outdoors should only be done when overnight temps are about 45degreef any colder and you can kiss them goodbye
I agree with this. You will have many more sprout and survive if you start them inside even under a couple small CFLs. Be sure to read up on hardening off before you just throw them outside under full sun (that will likely kill them). When I say that mine are doing fine in 45 degrees F over night I should mention that they are near 3 feet tall and very hearty.I suggest starting them in small containers inside first, then transplant them into the ground when overnight temps are not too cold. Remember, for a young plant they cant handle the cold temps like a late flowering or hearty plant can.
I've had plants do good with dips below 32 and sustained upper 30's.I agree with this. You will have many more sprout and survive if you start them inside even under a couple small CFLs.
