Replanting is no worse that waiting to plant.

Emotionally might be so for quite some, but factually it's a waste of time, effort and money(seeds).
Very true Gobs, didn't think of that side of it. arh.

I  moved all the plants that I had hardening off back into the potting shed a couple of days ago. Our daughter who is at Keele Uni phoned us to say she woke up to an inch of snow yesterday.

1.5c on Monday, down to 0.3c last night in greenhouse.
All tomatoes, chillies and assorted vulnerables under fleece for a second night, and on the ground off the shelves to give them another degree or two...... see below.

Can't move in there now, what with the early potatoes, peas, carrots, over winter lettuce, rocket and assorted brassica plants. All rather ad hoc, but it works sort of.
I need another greenhouse..

0 was, in fact -2 :(. Figs now have crispy leaves, despite a covering of debris netting that had been working up til now. I don't know if they'll recover enough to set a crop. My apple and cherry trees are in full blossom...don't know what that means for them? Potatoes actually ok at first glance apart from odd leaves or bits of leaf which got hit where their straw had got dislodged. The water in the watering can was frozen solid. 0 forecast for tonight now.
