Has anyone planted  theirs out yet....? ???

I've had some waiting in in the greenhouse that I planted on from plugs and I want to get them out ( no patience ::)) plus, I want the space for my Tom's, chillis and peppers... :D

Most of mine are sitting in their trays on the driveway.

Very low priority. Afterall, you can't eat them.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

i've planted up some flower pouches (well out of the reach of chooks  ;) ) and put some tubs out the front with bedding plants, it's pretty mild here  :)  like you I need room in the greenhouse for toms and peppers.

after reading several postings over last few days about planting out veg and bedding plants etc I can't but help but think people are looking at things the wrong way here. Not criticising but it is easy to think about planting out after a good day in warm weather in the garden. I do it myself. But once I have walked my dog last thing about 10.30'ish and felt how cool it is then I think again and will hold off planting out for a few more days. Can I suggest all those keen to plant out walk their gardens at midnight and see how they feel then. The big danger is the cold as well as the risk of frost hence the practice of hardening off being so important. Just a thought.

Couple of weeks maybe. They're in quite a sheltered spot just hardening off.

Yes, But if anything's going to 'cop' it, it'll be my flowers!  :D

The valuable space in my Greenhouse is reserved for my Veggies!

Tis only a mini 4 teer GH, and I've just put the first batch of tommys out, but already have 4 Courgettes and 2 squashes taking over... So it was "Goodnight Vienna" to the flowers!
