Sometimes the extension office offers programing on gardening so check with your Comanche County OSU Extension Office - <personal data hidden>, 611 SW C Ave., Lawton, OK 73501.
We also have a lot of information online. You can access all our fact sheets at
https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/index.html and you can view all our episodes of the television show Oklahoma Gardening on their YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/OklahomaGardening (also airs on OETA Saturdays at 11am and Sunday at 3).
The transition from indoors to outside can be tricky and tough on plants. We generally recommend acclimating them slowly by moving them outside for several hours a day for several days before permanently moving them outdoors. We also had an unusual spring with mild and wet conditions for so long that many plants struggled to get well established, especially the warm-season plants that like warm air and soil temperatures. For additional information about establishing a vegetable garden see our fact sheets on the publication web page; some that may be helpful to you are -
