So now that I have my greenhouse up, I've been trying to figure out how early to transplant my plants.

I currently have all of my pepper/tomato plants indoors under lights, waiting for the right time to transplant into containers in the greenhouse.

The nighttime temps still hit freezing this time of year occasionally, but if I wait until after the worry of frost to move the plants, it seems that would be the same as starting the plants outdoors for the most part.


I decided to move a few plants that I had extras of out to the greenhouse just as a trial this weekend. I covered them with another layer of plastic to see if that helps a bit. I don't believe frost will occur at all inside, but the temps do still get low. I've considered a heater, but I think I need a better setup before I do that (heated grow box?), maybe next year.



How do I judge when the temps are right to move plants full time to the greenhouse?

I moved my plants outside last year one week before the last frost and killed almost everything last year was my first year with greenhouse. I got some lettuce out there now seems to be doing ok making plans to heat the thing this winter think I'm going solar. New to this website.
