Once you have your transplants home, keep them well attended in a sheltered area outside as they harden off in preparation for in ground or container planting.
Obviously if the plants have been growing outside, they're ready to go in the ground - if unsure if they're ready, ask the friendly staff or folks hosting the plant sale. If you hold off on planting, keep them watered, not too wet and near a sunny window. A garage should be just fine, provided they get adequate light and it's not too cold at night.
Looking ahead to next week, we're in for cooler days AND nights, so if you plant this weekend, be sure to cover on days and nights in the forties. Personally I'm holding off to plant tomatoes, eggplant and peppers until after this next cold snap. I have several new herbs planted already, I plan on covering.
