I’m in Zone 7a and started these indoors a few weeks ago. They seem to be thriving, but I’m a bit worried they might be getting a little too tall too quickly.
The stems look fairly sturdy to me, but I’d love a second opinion from this sub. Should I wait another week or two, or should I start the hardening-off process now? Also, any tips on how deep I should bury them when they finally go into the ground?
Thanks in advance for the advice!

They look great and I would transplant them if you’re past frost concerns.
These look fantastic!
Put these in the ground soon. Clip off the bottom two or three branches and bury the stem halfway deep.
They look fabulous darling!
If I had these and I were not absolutely sure I was past the chance of frost, I would pot them up and start hardening off!
Lay them in a trench when you plant them my friend.
Lots of water. Lots of sun
These look very healthy! I start hardening off right around my last frost date, but will start a little earlier if the weather is looking good. I’ll keep them outdoors overnight if the temps are warm enough, but wait until about 2 weeks after my last frost date to transplant them.
I’d remove the bottom 2 leaf branches, and bury them most of the way to the next lowest branch.
