is it still too cold to leave my outdoor bush tomato's to fend for them selfs?
they are in the ground but still in a cold frame, i have been lifting the top off during the day for a week now and leaving it just propped up at night for last few days.
dare i risk removing it altogether?

i would give it  a little longer  at least to the end of the month !

according to this evening's weather forecast on sky, next week the wind will turn back to northerly and be cold again
It looks as if this week is summer.........make the most of it :blink:

Oh you're joking I hope.  I was beginning to get hopeful, and had been leaving my tender stuff out at night.  Arrgh.

Oooops I put a bush tomato plant in the ground today. Hopefully it will be ok. Fingers x

[binner]

[stompy]

Give it until June.
You know your safe then 

[mumofstig]

safe ish..........we have had some late ones before now 

[stompy]

What even in June 

[mumofstig]

there were some June frosts in 2008....

[stompy]

Well that throws my theory out of the window, i always advocated planting in June as 100% safe.
Maybe not so then.
Frosts in June, it's supposed to be summer by then.

Safe ?   Nature is always out to get the plants even if it means sending a summer hailstorm to beat them to pieces.
 You just have to laugh and carry on trying.

I can remember a frost in July on the low lying fens, I think about 20 years ago. It touched the tops of french beans and blackened young nettle growth in the dikes.

Mine went out on Wednesday.  I think it was a bit early but I didn't have a say in the matter.  I'll keep watching the skies ( and the Met office guessing site) for a bit. 

The second I stop worrying about frost I start worrying about blight!  I grow far too may plants to grow in a green house.
