Hello to everyone  ,looking forward to asking for help on all manner of subjects.

It is a bit late, but IMO not too late if you can't get any small plants from anywhere. IMO  a later crop is better than none at all  ;)

Hi and welcome  :)

I would agree about the tomatoes.  They grow so quickly it is worth a go.

Hi thank you so much for your generosity ,I’ve actually  been given 4 by a neighbour 10 doors away plus 4 runner beans which also suffered in the frost ,it was rather a sharp frost we suffered I must get some heating in my greenhouse for the future.
