All plants, including vegetable seedlings, perennials, and annuals, that have been grown indoors (at home, in a garden centre, or in a greenhouse), must be progressively acclimatized to the outside environment. On the first day, leave them outside in a covered place for an hour. Increase the duration of time and exposure to the sun each day for the next few days. Some plants can take up to a week or more. The plants will then be ready for planting in the garden.

Place them in a safe, shady area for 10 to 14 days before transporting them to their final destination.
