I'm starting to see daytime temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Is this a good range to begin hardening off my plants like tomatoes, poblano peppers, eggplants, zucchini, and cucumbers? They're getting larger and I've moved them to bigger pots, so I need some advice on acclimating them to the outdoors for better sunlight exposure before planting them in May.

Yes, daytime temps in the 60s and above are perfect for hardening off your plants! Just start with some shade or limit their time outside at first, and remember to bring them inside overnight until the nights are warm enough.
That sounds like a good plan. Today's actually overcast and around 60, so I think a few hours outside should be fine.
