Second Wind

We've had a pretty mild winter here in North Carolina. This past weekend we had a miniature cool snap, with overnight temps of about 30 degrees for about 3 nights. It looks to me like from here on out we're going to be looking at mid-40s overnight at the lowest.

I'm just curious about when other NC members plan to put their tropicals outside. I know it won't be time yet for a little longer up in the mountains, but here at the coast it seems like it's just about time. My Japanese maples (outside, of course) are budding, and some of the azaleas around town are already flowering.

Just asking because I'd like to let 'em get out of the house and into the sun, but don't really want to have to move them more than once.
