Walls O Water - Hardening Off Transplants

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html
Greetings All!
 
I have a question for anybody out there who's used Walls O' Water.  I purchased a couple of packs of these li'l jewels a couple of weeks ago and am now ready to try 'em out.  My frost free date is sometime in mid-April and the weather is already looking good, although it still dips down to the low-mid 30's at night.  That is the situation here.
 
The questions:  How much hardening off is necessary if I'm using WOW?  Does the advertised protection of 16 degrees mean I can just about eliminate hardening off, or at least minimize what Mel admits is a "pain in the neck?"  Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated since I have some toms that are raring to get outside - soon!
 
Another inquiry - I commute to work everyday leaving normally around 0530 and returning around 1800.  Does anybody with similar hours have any advice on a good method to harden off veggies?  I'm not around enough to be jockeying plants for a couple of hours each day.  The only solution I've come up with so far is moving my plants in front of a partially opened window, hoping that at least gets them somewhat hardened off.  This is why I bought the WOW.
 
Any help/advice or general comment would be appreciated.
 
TIA!
