Comments on: Protecting Your Tender Plants From A Spring Freeze http://www.albertahomegardening.com/protecting-your-tender-plants-from-a-spring-freeze/ The Documented Experiments of an Alberta Gardener Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:14:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Dave http://www.albertahomegardening.com/protecting-your-tender-plants-from-a-spring-freeze/#comment-259 Dave Sun, 18 May 2008 03:33:20 +0000 http://www.albertahomegardening.com/?p=31#comment-259 Boy, I think you're talking to the wrong person on hardening off plants. I know the concepts, but my plants sure get pretty beat up by the time they're ready to be planted outside. I've lost several. But then again, if it doesn't kill them, it only makes them stronger, right? Perhaps I'll do a post on what NOT to do to harden off plants! I've been pretty leery about planting this year. That plus great busyness has led me to merely transplant a few raspberries, three kiwis, and five spruce trees. Nothing annual yet. Today was going to be the day, but my day got filled working on my new A-Frame greenhouse. So by Monday I should have my entire garden planted, and perhaps by Tuesday I'll get my greenhouse plants in their beds. Boy, I think you’re talking to the wrong person on hardening off plants.

I feel very uneasy this year....we would have had the potatoes planted but it looks like we need to have a funeral for the rototiller instead. :( Can you do a post on hardening off plants? Perhaps that is what is making me a little fearful as my peppers looked horrific this morning...they seemed to have bounced back....whew....What have you planted so far?
