adair, since they've just sprouted, wait it out a week and until these are of good size and has produced a true set of leaves, keep it under a hydrating dome. Then do the steps you have just described, slowly hardening them off.

Otherwise, I would have suggested that you can sow your seeds directly outside now.

I will do some seeds outdoors tomorrow.Then I do not have to go through this waiting. I guess gardening will teach me patience..!!! Lol

My Nastursiums were planted in pots outside about a week and a half ago and are coming up nicely.Cosmos like colder soil so they are going out soon.I am hoping to be moving soon so I won't be sowing too much this year.
