| I started some Delosperma (ice plant) seeds a little early thinking they would take a little while to germinate. They sprouted within a few days. I'm wondering if since they are hardy, would it be o.k. to put them outdoors before the last frost if I harden them off or would it harm the seedlings? |

| Keep in mind that while the well-established plants are cold hardy, young seedlings are not. If they must go out they will need to be VERY carefully, gradually, and well hardened off first to survive. Dave |

| Thank you Dave. I thought that might be the case. I guess They will sit on my window sill a few more weeks : ) |
