Guide

### A week of gradual exposure, or one cold night takes everything

Plants raised indoors have no wax cuticle and no wind conditioning. Moving them straight out is the commonest way six weeks of growing is lost overnight.

#### The schedule

Two hours out on day one, doubling each day for a week, in shade first. Back in every night until the last two days.

#### What kills them

Wind more often than cold. Soft indoor growth desiccates in a breeze before the temperature has done anything at all.

#### The shortcut

A cold frame does the whole thing with a lid you prop further open each day. It is worth building for this reason alone.
