Have i fallen behind with my planting out???
« on: June 03, 2011, 20:08 »
Hi.
Am i just panicking or am i leaving it too late to plant out my sweetcorn, runner beans, french beans and tomatos??

They are all in pots nicely hardened off in the coldframe, but am so busy i cant see me having time to plant them out till at least sunday. Is it too late??????
Start at the beginning, and finish at the end!!

None of mine are out.  I only started hardening them off at the start of the week, and they've not been out overnight yet - due to be quite chilly next week so they probably won't get planted out on the lotty until middle or end of next week.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I have tomatoes and sweetcorn waiting to go out too, hoping to sort them out this weekend.  Don't worry you still have time.

I think this warm wearther  (where I am anyway ) has lulled us to a feeling that we should be well into the growing season but it still is only the 3rd of June I keep think that I should be picking runners and peas etc now ??  :wacko:
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

Rather too late than too early and then lose them to frost

I sowed some seeds direct into my lotty soil today - dwarf french beans, climbing borlotti beans, sweetcorn seeds to fill the gaps where I was short of plants.  I planted my courgettes and squashes too. Still got loads of stuff to plant out yet. It's not a race and you just have to do what time permits

I don't plant out any "tender" plants until first week of June, no matter hot balmy the Spring is!

I do plant out a few "early", but I make sure I have backups in case of a late frost, and the bulk go out at start of June.

Hopefully now we are in June we are all-done with frost ... <FingersCrossed>
