Before you transplant your seedlings outdoors, there is one final step to do known as 'hardening off.'
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - As temperatures rise and Fairbanks flourishes into green, many people are preparing to fill their gardens with veggies and flowers. When you finally have all the seedlings you need to start your garden, the only thing left to do is to plant them in the ground, right?
“Whether you’ve got seedlings that you purchased or you’ve got some that you’ve grown yourself, we’ve got to acclimate them to the environment where they’re going to go,” Matney explained. “We’re going to make sure our plants don’t get shocked and potentially die,” Matney said. “On day one what I do is I put them out for about an hour, and try to make sure the temperature is as close as possible to indoors, 60 degrees if possible.”
