Thanks everyone...

TightenUp, I'll plant them out sometime this weekend, I started hardening them off four days ago. Looks like tonight will be the last night with temperatures below 50 degrees over here in this part of NJ so.

And I can finally leave my 50+ houseplants outside as well, instead of lugging them back in every time the temps go down too low (like last night...geez mid-30's over here?!)

Looks great Alfredo. This was my first "hardening off" year and it was a little nerve-wracking. And dragging that many plants around on every cold night gets old fast! I'm amazed at your perseverance. Great job.

Looking good! So if you're planting out this weekend then I can expect to be planting out next weekend or a bit later up here in central NY. Starting to get good now, huh?

Thanks Sunsi. Temperature hit a high of 82 degrees over here today in Northern NJ. You should be in the clear to plant out soon too since you're pretty close in central NY. Looks like the lowest it'll get this weekend is 52 degrees more or less.
