If you have a cold frame, you can acclimatise them gradualy for out of doors, or if not you can put them out during the day and bring them in at night for a few days until they're ready. pansies and polyanthus are the hardiest for spring at the moment. Summer bedding is to early as yet.
Hanging baskets dry out very quickly, water retaining crystals are a great help.
