Temperatures to harden plants
I live in the maritimes. I'm trying to "harden" my seedings but the temperatures have been so low. This weeks night forcasts are 4,3,8,10,10. What is the min temp to leave melons, summer squash & cucumber plants out? After that I have tomatoes & peppers to go out so I could use help with those also

I'm using a gardening app called Clyde's. It suggests putting cucumbers, melons & summer squash out 24 May & pepper, tomatoes 31 May.
I think the temperatures are low for this time of year. This is my second year gardening veg. Last year I just did seeds in the ground & a few tomatoe plants but late as the whole thing was unplanned.
I did seedlings this year some have flowers already. Getting dates to start seeds from the app
Today it is 7C. Frost advisory in affect I haven't been putting them out even in the day if it's below 10C
