moving plants outdoors in Michigan

[Foutwenty71]

Northern wi here...mine will be going out weekend after next... but will be hardened off before they go in the ground

Same exact plan here except I'll be watching the forecast... Even if it's marginal low temps I may end up waiting till the end of May.. spent a lot of time growing these this year and if I remember right 2012 or 2013 we had a nasty frost on June 1st took every leaf off of every pepper plant I had an outright killed a couple of pumpkins... You had to of gotten Frost that day as well. I was a little further south back then, than I am now.... Go Vikings.!!!!... Sorry couldn't resist

Put my plants outside today, will bring them in tonight. Is there anything I should worry about? Water? Too much sun? And suggestions are helpful.

Both if it's warm enough water will evaporate faster. If your plants are not used to the sun they will will. Put out in the shade the first day then slowly add sun

ditto on what @rayi said... make sure that you get them used to the full sun, otherwise they can get a sunburn and kill off a lot of leaves and stunting growth. A few cloudy days works, or I sometimes put them under another tree, allowing broken sunlight for a few days before putting them out on their own.
