during the day. They have outgrown the cups and are ready to go in the ground, but it's just too darn cold. The soil temp hasn't warmed up enough and it's supposed to be 36 degrees tonight and this is North Georgia!! I hope we can plant them late next week when the temps are supposed to be in the 60-80 degree range. I swear they were shivering when I went out this morning.
