Cool-season transplants do better at the higher end of the range. 60–70°F (16–21°C): A general range for transplants/seeding for both cool and warm-season vegetables. 70–85°F (21–29°C): Best for transplants/seeding warm-season crops like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Crops preferring cool soil tend to flower and produce seeds (bolt). Above 85°F (29°C): Germination can become sporadic for many crops, and high soil temperatures can stress plants. The process of bolting definitely begins for any remaining cool=season crops. Above 95°F (25°C): Gemination may not occur and plants often drop flower or shut down fruit formation and production.
