Tomato, pepper, and eggplant seedlings should be hardened off 2 weeks before planting — take them out to the balcony or greenhouse for a few hours at first, gradually increasing the time. Maintain distances between plants, do not overcrowd the plantings. Have covering material on hand in case of night frosts.
