Im in zone 6 and my broccoli should have been set out already (March)They are a cool season plant and can take frosts after being set out. My cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprout, and cauliflower were started in an unheated garage under lights. If you will keep your lights just a few inches above the seedlings it will prevent them stretching for the light. Id set them out, dont forget to harden them off a bit first. Hope that was helpful.

Are you adding more humidity near the hatch date? I read something interesting on an e-bay sellers egg listing. They said they use a spray of hydrogen peroxide and water before incubation and improves hatch rate. I didn’t look into it any further. Might be something to look into. I know opening the lid before the hatch is done has killed a few of my hatching chicks. I have to resist that urge to take babies out!

Went to my freezer today to try to fit in a good buy and a package of chicken breast fell out. Noticed it was starting to freezer burn so I took out another full pkg and canned it. Rotation room is important. Been canning meat on sale and also canning from the freezer. We are trying a jar of the different meal starters after I can something new, so I can do more if we like it.
