Cindy, You were right about me wondering if they needing as much time to acclimate in the ground if they are growing good in the pots. I wasn't sure we were thinking the same thing! I've got the same problem with high heat myself, and know it would be bad to transplant them right now, but if I have to I will. I guess I'd just have to make some shade for them. My seedlings have only been growing for a month at the most, and the tallest is only about 7 inches tall. The roots seem to be doing good though since some of them are growing out the bottom of the 4" tall pots. Since for the most part, I wouldn't be disturbing the roots any, I would think it would be somewhat safe to plant them in the ground before it freezes, but that is where I'm not sure, since they are still really small. I've got some crosses that I'm excited about and I'd hate to lose them!
