Over-wintered stuff...

It's been the mildest winter I can remember in Glasgow, and we have variable winters so that will always mess with when plants come ready. My autumn salads like mizuna,mibuna pak choi etc and mustard are still fine outside, they are flowering now though. They usually die with -5c frosts but we never went lower than about -3c.

Next winter we might hit -17c again, so I think we just have to accept a bit of variability

Hi, have grown peas and broad beans in cold greenhouse for first time this winter now not sure what to do with them, do you harden off before planting out and protect if frosty? Both are coming into flower......

No, greenhouses get almost as cold as outside, so they are already hardened off. However all early plantings will benefit from a few weeks of cover with fleece.

Temperatures may not be much different at night, but if they've grown inside they aren't used to wind and rain, so I still harden stuff of under my hedge for protection.
If you are fleecing yours then maybe that counts as hardening them off under fleece? 

If I can just remake my initial point with a view to sparking off a discussion about it. With the tendency towards milder winters I'm having difficulty with timings for sowing winter/spring crops. For the last few years, Spring cauliflowers such as Armado April and similar - sowed at the recommended times for a March/April crop - have been maturing way too early, sometimes before the end of the year. Has anyone else noticed this trend and if so, have you had to adjust your sowing times and by how much?

I’m in London and I am not noticing things maturing too early, my PSB is just coming to ripeness, my spring caulis have not hearted up yet, my November planted broad beans are only about 5 inches tall and not in flower.
