Planted them but due to weather the polytunnel cover isn't on yet but out of all my young plants i was thinking i might be able to move them.

Q1 can i put the spinach out yet with fleece protection

Q2 can the beans go in the mini green house and when could i plant these out I have a cloche that can protect them.

I might be wrong but I think spinach might be ok but I would definitely wait for the French beans. I haven't even sowed mine yet but I'll be looking to get them ready for planting next month.

Do you think they would be ok in the mini greenhouse, it has a fleece cover over the top of the clear one.

I wouldn't put out my beans until May. Plant them in pots and keep them undercover for a while ... in the mean time prepare the bean trench :shock: :shock: :shock: , you can fill it with a miltitude of stuff!! :roll:

... as I write this ... the sky has gone black and there is thunder and lightening going on outside! :shock: Just checked Metcheck ... it's going to feel like -2-3 at nights for the next week!!!! :?

Oh well at least another week indoors then but cheered up abit when i read the summer 2008 forcast as it looks like we are in for a better summer than last year, but i guess that's not difficult.

Hi, I planted some perpetual spinach last year and we are still eating it now! Yes it survived all winter with no protection, we had a 'Sag Paneer' about a month ago! We'll be planting some more in another bed around now which I hope will last around for another year.
