I read that after I grow my garden transplants indoors, I should "harden them off before
planting them out". What does this mean and what's the best way to do it?

Seedlings raised in our homes or greenhouses must be gradually acclimated to the stress of life outdoors. Cold,
wind and sun take a little getting used to. Gardeners usually find a protected spot, where the plants will only get a few hours of morning sun. The transplants are put out after breakfast and taken in before dinner. After about a week of this treatment, they can be planted out if the weather forecast is mild enough for that specific crop.
