Trays of seedlings getting used to the outdoors on a screened table

Finally after a few days of acclimating to natural light and the warmer weather these are ready to go outside. You can see that they spent a bit too long inside as they've bolted a little bit and the leaves have slightly yellowed, but they'll be okay I think.

Pepper and cucumber seedlings planted inside green wire cages in a raised bed

Peppers and cucumbers in the ground. The larger cages are from Gardener's Supply Company and I actually kept them in two parts as these vegetables won't grow tall enough to need the entire thing. The smaller circular cages I made out of chicken wire to protect the smaller seedlings from being dug up by squirrels and neighborhood cats.
