People do things differently, don't worry, some do grow parsnips in loo rolls in the gh.

Is this a heated or unheated gh, please? And what do you mean they have started to seed :?:

Some shouldn't have got into the gh, but once they did, they need hardening off before planting out. A cold frame or other somewhat sheltered location is good for this.  These are the garlic, rhubarb, strawberry and onion sets.

I'm sorry, I don't know whereabouts your Island is and what the weather is like there, depending on that, also might be thinking of hardening off nowish or soon the beetroot, sprout, cauli, carrot, spring onion.

Tomato and sweetcorn can't go out till all risk of frost past in your area, so these were probably sown a bit too early, but if you have room for them it should not be a problem.

The problem is the seeding and the roots, which don't like to be transplanted: carrot, parsnip.

I'm planting my potatoes nowish, I do them as follows: dig about a spade deep and wide trench, put  a layer of manure in the bottom, sit tubers on it and cover with about 4 inch of soil.

Also look at the home page there is a useful month by month guide on it.
