Harden Off the Giant Pumpkin Seedlings

Get those babies outside into the sun a little bit every day leading up to planting out. Then look at your forecast to pick an afternoon that's a bit cloudy and mild to transplant.

Good video. What I have found I had a couple of very serious knowledgeable growers. Tell me they never acclimate their plants however, after talking to them further, I told them yes you do because you take the plant out and put it in a cold frame with plastic over it, so they are not going directly under the hot sun. So that is a form of hardening off.going out to a cold frame under plastic acclamation is not as important just a suggestion for new growers I would place a lawn chair over top of your young plant from noon till 4 PM. If the direct sun is out and it’s over 70° even over 65° I would use a chair or some kind of netting from noon to four. Just a little additional information to help out the new growers. Nice job Cindy keep up the good work.
