Most of us are in Colorado because we love the sunny days but the cloudy, overcast weather in our current forecast is really a gift for gardeners at this time of year because it's the perfect time for hardening off. This is the process of acclimating your seedlings to the outdoors - an important step in gardening success.
You spent hours looking at seed catalogues and carefully selecting the vegetable varieties you wanted to grow. You've babied your seedlings with the best possible care and now they are beautiful! Please don't skip hardening off!
