Gardening Guide: Transplanting Seedlings Outdoors 🌱

Photo by Jael Rodriguez on Unsplash Transplanting seedlings from indoor containers to your garden is like graduation day. Your babies are off to make their own way in the world. However, before you take this step, it's important to ensure that the seedlings are properly acclimatized to the outdoor environment. If you need a refresher on hardening off seedlings, check out our Gardening Guide on Hardening Off Seedlings . If you're ready to transplant, read on to discover how to do this in a way that will help your seedlings thrive in their new digs (sorry, plant pun).

We've moved the blog! ✈

Hey Gardeners! If you're looking for updates on plannt.ca development, general gardening tips, and other fun articles, you can now find us on Medium:  https://plannt.medium.com We will not be posting on this site going forward. Why did we move? Medium is easier to use overall, and has a simpler interface (getting a bit tired of surprise buggy formatting behavior in my Blogger posts!).

We apologize for any inconvenience and, as alwa...

These questions, if not properly considered, can make or break your growing season. That's where plannt.ca comes in. With this helpful tool, users can easily plan and organize their garden, d...
