Transplant harden-off schedule


Enter your last spring frost (or a coarse USDA zone), days until you plan to set out (or mark already past frost), pick 1–6 crop types, and the seedling age band. You get a calm 5–10 day harden-off sketch: hours outdoors, shade→sun, and overnight yes/no — plus frost / leggy / tender-crop warnings.

Honest framing: harden-off is weather-watching, not a calendar stamp. A cold snap resets overnight plans. Leggy starts need gentler shade. Peppers and eggplant usually want a slower ramp than brassicas or lettuce. Numbers are soft home-garden ranges, not a greenhouse protocol.
