Can I Move My Seed Starters Outside Now?

Question

Hi. I am completely new to gardening and I am learning as I go. I don’t have any fancy equipment, but I do the best I can with what I have. I started my seeds indoors inside recycled bottles and seasoning containers. I started them around two weeks ago and they had been sitting in the window frame. Unfortunately, my family has made me move them outside of the house. The last frost date is not until around April 15th, but I don’t have anywhere else to move them. Will moving them outdoors now impact them too much?

Answer 1

Your seedlings will be impacted if there is a frost. You will need to cover them or bring them back inside. Even the garage would do overnight. Also they need to be hardened off before leaving them out 24 hours a day. Here is how:
