end of cold nights

I'm glad this routine is almost over- carrying most of the young plants in for the night-

Wait next morning until temps are above 55°, move most of them back out (some into the coldhouse) for the day

Wait until temps are above sixty, then seventy- for the rest to go out:

Amaranth is one of the few still left in folded paper pots. These are the globe amaranth.

I really admire the olive and red hues of the opopeo amaranth (here next to 'watermelon' coleus)

I'm pleased that my peppers- the wider leaves- are just as healthy-looking as the ones I bought from the nursery (narrower)

Here's the celosia. I've got ten reaching a nice size- growing better now that temperatures are warmer.

One, the newer top leaves suddenly got crinkled. I separated it from the others. But from watching symptoms on aquarium plants, wonder if this is a calcium issue, something with the water I used? so I pinched out its top and waiting to see how new leaves grow.

All the gay (delightful) coleus. I've potted up a few for my deck and porch, the rest will go in the front bed.
