Pot up day!
Rapidly loosing space...
Cukes & cauliflowers moved to no heat and bigger pots.
Nice thing about clear cups is seeing when to pot up, if they're dry and if watered enough. Now it'll be more of a guess. Lol

The 4 cuttings got potted up and moved out.

Only a few left to pot and repot.
Repotted most of the tomatoes that are left.
Peppers are being very slow.
A few seeds failed, 1 is just sprouting. Once potted, that whole tray will go away. Peppers will stay on heating mat, since it's helping to grow them.

Some sites are saying to start seeds outside now. To move other plants out now. But frost will damage or kill them. So, gotta keep waiting, right?
How do frost covers and such even work? Won't the crazy wind here make it useless?

East Central IL, Was Zone 6, Now...maybe Zone 5
It depends on what you are wanting to direct seed. I need to have peas/sugar snap peas/sweet peas in the ground NOW, or they won't have enough cool weather.
For ME, it's too early to put out tomatoes or peppers--not too early to direct plant potatoes.
Go online and look up zone7a--I think? that's your zone--and check.
We often lose fruit to late frosts, but I think you have past your average frost date in VA by now.
NOW you know why I ask neebies to put their locations!
How can we Possibly help with questions like this even from our oldtimers without such information, and @secuono just has Virginia, which is good enough to gauge.

Only carrot to put seeds in ground.
I guess potatoes count as seeds.
Zone 6b to 7a.
Cauliflower, tomato, pepper, cukes to take outside as starts.
