Just to be safe, I'd gradually build up to full sun over 6 to 7 days to avoid leaf burn. You can always put them in full sun sooner if they look like they are adapting qiuckly.

I never had a problem, with leaf burn while I was there. I would just throw them outside right in the sun. But I also had very high light levels when I had them inside.

mine arent in ground though... I might do that this summer set up something like that, what did you do to have them like that? Did you mulch? Did you put tarps over? if we get a green house i will be putting them in their (it will probably be a cold frame (tear i want a warm house or a hot house Green house!!) If that doesnt happen ill be getting a in ground bog... if not a Wheel barrel bog like i mentioned b4

I dug a hole, installed a pond liner. Added silica rocks, sand and peat. Added plants. In the winter, I just put about a foot of pine straw on top. The hardest thing was finding pine straw. If you decide to go this route which I highly recommend. Let me know, I'll give you some tips that I had to learn the hard way.

How can you beat a method that is almost maintenance free.
