I am in your boat Geoff. But there is progress thanks to Eric and my daughter. I put about 1/3 of my dahlias in the raised covered beds yesterday. They made it through last night fine. I will give them another day then they will go to the porch. I need to plant seeds in those beds. I am thinking I can plant seeds and still put pots on top for about 3-5 days as they shouldn't germinate very fast right now. I still need to harden off the rest of the dahlias and certainly get my annuals and such started hardening off also. I leave for Fairbanks the 18th and will 'top off' my plants to make it easier for my daughter to try to keep them alive for five days. The small ones in 6 paks are drying out fast along with the little 2" pots. If she can focus on those and my tomatoes I think we should be okay. The rest can take a bit of dry if they have to and recover. The little guys, herbs, popies, nurslings won't make it if they get past a certain point.
I will be harvesting pak choi and lettuce in the next week from things I started out the first part of March and have replanted in the raised beds. Really need to get the beans out there as they are going nuts inside, getting all tangled up.
