| I have adult tomato plants as well as other adult plants. They were grown from seed to adult indoors. Do they need hardening off or is it just for seedlings? |

| I would say they DO need to be hardened off if they haven't been expose to the elements. The sun and wind would really shock them. |

| Any plant, regardless of age, that is getting a major shift in environment needs to be hardened off first. Dave |

| I had a cover crop of hairy vetch growing on the barbed wire fence near a tomato. I left it because it was pretty and blooming. I pulled it when it went to seed and the tomatoes sheltered by it got sun scald. You have to protect them from shifts in environment as stated above. |
