You can start hardening them off now - early morning sun and shade the rest of the day. Gradually increase the sun for a couple of weeks. When you are ready to plant them into the ground, cut about half the foliage off and let them rip.

We grow our seedlings in a hydroponic unit and they go from the unit to the ground with no hardening off. They usually pout for a couple of days but they get no hardening off at all. Don't worry about light frosts once they are in the ground, they will be fine.

I have planted out my seedlings by now, here on the Swedish west coast where it might get close to freezing at night ..... or even a light frost. They don't seem to mind.
