When to Plant Your Garden – Dates to Start Seeds Indoor & Dates to Plant Outside

When Should You Transplant Seedlings?

“It’s time to transplant when seedlings have grown too large for their seed trays or starter pots. If it’s not yet warm enough to plant outdoors, transplant the seedlings to larger plastic or peat pots indoors and continue care. If outdoor conditions allow, start hardening off your seedlings approximately one week before your last frost date, then transplant them into the garden.” Farmer’s Almanac
