Getting the seeds ready for the ground - "Hardening off"

Get your little seedlings ready for the sunlight, drying winds, and climate changes by Hardening them off. This process was completely new to me because we had never started our plants from seeds before, but just bought them at the store. Thanks to a kind lady from theeasygarden.com forum, I learned that I needed to "let them meet the world" BEFORE I plant them in the ground. It makes sense, I just never thought of it before.
We started our plants off with about 1 hour of evening sun when there wasnt much wind (which is hard to find in Kansas!) and are slowly working them up to the full extent of the elements they will experience outside!
