Toilet roll tubes almost always go mouldy (I believe it's encouraged by the glue used to stick them together.)

It doesn't seem to affect the seedlings though but don't overdo the watering - I wouldn't bother repotting them at this stage.

Few thanks!

Always helpful DD! The thing is, the roots are out of the bottom of mine...they are still inside too - shall I put them in the coldframe or keep them inside. I'm very protective of them 

I'd risk putting them in the cold frame. You're going to have to think about hardening them off soon. Mine are in an unheated greenhouse, I'll keep them there for another week and then re-assess.

Okay (deep breath) they're going out! Thanks DD.

Noticed three on our site this morning with the sweetcorn out and in the ground, will hold mine for a bit longer after such good results I dont want to lose them now.

Some out down here - I'm just waiting for this wind to drop 

[Armleywhite]

So would it be safe to plant them out and cover with a pop bottle (plastic of course)?  Would that keep the frost from doing too much damage?

[mumofstig]

yes, as long as the wind doesn't blow them away

Or the sun comes out and they get cooked in the daytime!

This might seem daft but what about pop bottles with the lid off, would that stop a frost or not.

Ok stop laughing, just thought it may act as a little run roof

Ummm not so sure I have the time or the bottles to cover 93 sweetcorn daily. Lol maybe I'll just keep them in the cold frame a few more weeks

I tried sweetcorn in loo rolls but they soon outgrow them. Either plastic pots or large size discarded takeaway coffee cups make good sweetcorn pots.

Yep, snap, they are now in an unheated greenhouse    Hope they will be ok.

Just hope that the mice don't get them this time
