So, was looking up more specific information for the purple broccoli I am growing. As opposed to standard broccoli. Seems this variety likes cold much more than standard varieties. Several sources state it grows best if overwintered. (Though may die off below 20 degrees F.) Flowers in springtime. Very frost tolerant.
What this all comes down to is that the current temperatures are probably perfect for this variety of broccoli to be set out in the solarium. Though, the plants being so young, I will prevent them from freezing. So, all of the seedlings are now out in the solarium. That gives them filtered sunlight for most of the day. Can transplant them out once they form some true leaves.
One really good thing bout being able to put them out is that it frees up room inside to start more seeds for warm weather.
First Beefsteak tomato seeds are sprouting now! Yay! I was starting to worry a little about viability.
No pepper sprouts yet. Hopefully soon.
