I find planting out after it hits 60 degrees at night
preferable. Sometimes I can't do that and it takes a
lot longer for my chiles to harvest.
I find the colder temps cause the chiles to halt
budding and flowering.
I am going to plant out next week, after it stops
raining again. I am sooooo sick of rain.
