Admit it... did you plant out too early?

[sewer rat]

At my own place, all I have sown / planted outside at the moment are strawberries, onions, broad beans, early peas, carrots and potatoes. The tunnel is planted up with toms, chillies, lettuce, CCA salad leaves, scallions, hispi cabbages, blackcurrant cuttings, chard, perpetual spinach, parsley clump and hanging basket strawbs. It is also home to the following babies - 1500 cabbages, 1000 cauliflower, 750 calabrese, 500 red cabbage, 50 chard, 50 perpetual spnach, 200 french beans, 200 runner beans, 60 cukes, 120 courgettes, 350 celeriac, 350 celery, 250 Florence Fennel, 500 Brussels Sprouts, 69 cukes.
At the posh walled garden, planted / sown outside are beetroot (three types), carrots, peas, broad beans, onions, new asparagus bed, potatoes, milan turnips.
At the "long term project" walled garden, all I have in are potatoes.

The only thing that might have trouble are some dwarf Frenchies that I sowed direct last week ... they're already 2" high on the plot (I thought they'd take a bit longer to get going but we've had a warm sunny week).

Not guilty only hardy stuff planted out.

[BarleySugar]

Besides my tomatoes from the early experiment that got a bit cold in the greenhouse, but are fine now, I'm good with everything, looking at the forecast for the next few days I reckon my beans, that have been hardening off since they first germinated, will be going out this week. My last frost date is end of April, but I've seen frosts later.

[Flummery]

No. I don't plant anything that's at all tender until June. First week in June sees me rushing about like a mad woman (so what's new?) putting everything in. I don't even plant out stuff in the greenhouse border till half past May. Just not worth it near the chilly East Coast!

[coreopsis]

Nope,I dare say I'm a (big) bit behind with some stuff.

[Bramble_killer]

I think I picked the wrong day to harden my plants

[HayleyB]

Onions, garlic, shallots, broadies and Felthams have all bee there since the end of last year. Everything else is taking up the conservatory and I've had to stop sowing as I've run out of room, concerned about some having sprouted too soon (borlottis about 9" and courgettes and Frenchies about 6") I may have to succumb to planting out before I really should.

[Glutton4...]

Onions, Shallots, Garlic, Carrots and Early Spuds all in and doing fine. Spuds growing really well now as I watered them really well just before the hot spell and mother Nature has just watered them again. Runners desperately need planting out so I may risk it later this week if I can make some protection for them. My Frenchies (old packet) didn't germinate, so just bought a new packet, and had poor result with peas too, so second lot on the go now.

I moved house last year so I'm growing in different conditions from I had before.
I wanted to give the sweet corn a good long growing season so started them early as I usually do.
I hadn't bargained for how much they would like the conservatory.
They're in here 3 feet high and I can't plant them out until end of May.
I can see disaster looming.
Everything else is about right.

I have a vision of your conservatory looking like it's been invaded by triffids!

[rogesse]

Am I the only person to admit that yet again I've been too eager?

My name is Jane and I'm an over seeder cum planter......

I've already got french beans out and am praying - I always push with corn!

[RobintheBobin]

I've been obsessive about the weather this year as last year even my usually-tough-as-old-boots broad beans got frosted! Haven't even sown my runner beans yet but my brussels are outside, carrots and beetroots too. Still inside and being moved from greenhouse to house each day are my peppers and tomatoes. All half-hardy flower seedlings are in the greenhouse as will the courgettes and cukes (once they are out of their toasty warm propagator). I 'may' move some things outside but with all the rain forecast I may not. Baby steps...

Got hardy stuff and potatoes out on the plot and some runners which were given to me (weren't going to grow any but they were freebies so worth the risk). Was up the plot yesterday and the woman on the next door plot was planting out all her beans and sweetcorn! Think she's off on her holidays and doesn't want them to die at home. Bit risky considering the weather forecast but suppose she could always plant again at this time of year.

[taff]

I've been super-sensible this year, and only put hardy stuff outside so far...Course, that hasn't stopped me sowing stuff in the unheated greenhouse, but fingers crossed, everything seems to be on it's way now after a stop or two.
I may have sown the melons too early, we'll see.
