Morning all....sorry to mither you guys/gals again (!) but am new to this....
I have in 2 inch plug trays on my windowsills some asters, antirrinhums, 'mixed climbing semi-annuals' (not a clue what they are!), busy lizzies , viola, livingstone daisys, lobelia; all about 1-2 inches high (with the exception of the climbers which must be 9 inches tall & are growing .v fast!)..can I harden them off in my plastic greenhouse prior to planting (in a few days time) directly into the ground/pots? Also would say 4/5 days hardening off in greenhouse be long enough?
Also as the climbers are doing so well could I possibly plant them out today (as it's mild/dry) directly with no hardening off?
Maybe I'm just being lazy but the idea of bringing them in at night & out again in the morning is such a lot of hassle.....(!!)
Any advice would be great!

I have just been to see the damage done by the ground frost this week; I do not recommend putting out half hardy plants thios week and would not put out hardy plants without hardening off.
Put them in the green house, with the door open all day. close the door int hevening and they should be OK.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
Thanks-will do!0
