problem with leaves withering & drying up when hardening off plants

Question

I’ve been growing my own plants for over 30 yrs and in the last 3 or 4 yrs have had problems with my leaves drying up when hardening off my plants. I lose 3 or 4 leaves before I get them hardened off which doesn’t leave much left to plant.

Answer 1

Have you tried shortening the amount of time you leave them outside in the beginning? Do you bring them in at night the first few days? Try changing your routine a bit and see if that helps.
