Okay! Is NOW a good time to plant Scarlet Runners?

I sure hope so!  I have the toilet rolls all ready and just need to get the compost!
When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo!  What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!

I'll be leaving it for about another week; they germinate and start growing so quickly that they will be hardened off ready for planting out in mid-May which is (normally!) the very earliest it would  be safe to do so here.

Any earlier and I might have to deal with a serious Chinese puzzle of tangled stems if I have to delay planting out!
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Most on our site have, like Jay I tend to leave it a little later, the reason for me is we are on the coast and we tend to get some windy winds late April/ May and many last year got caught out by them.
