When has the risk of frost passed?

[EHulyerRobson]

Hi. I have several things that I can't plant out until all risk of frost has passed - but I'm not actually sure when that is! I don't want to keep hanging on if now is actually okay. I'm in Hertfordshire. Can anyone advise? Many thanks!

Here you go ( just put in your location)

First and last frost dates for towns and cities in the UK and USA

Remember it's not definite!!!
Where I used to live the last date was end of May. We did occasionally have light frosts up to 2 weeks later- (but not most years

Another person from Hertfordshire, welcome to the vine, whereabouts in herts are you from?

I normally do mine mid may, but i still have some of the old timers shaking their heads and telling me that i have taken a chance

Maybe I will hang on a few more weeks then. I'm just so keen to get going!!

I am in Bishop's Stortford.

Ah you are in Redthorns neck of the woods, bet it is very quiet there at the mo with no planes, we are loving the peace and quiet.

I know it is hard to hang on as you are raring to go, but there is nothing worse than planting out your bits and bobs and we have a late forst and you lose the lot, saying that, as i said previously, i plant my stuff out earlier than most over the lottie. Sit on your hands to stop yourself from planting

I've planted mine out as I was a little too eager (and inexperienced I daresay), we've had a few ground frosts since but I think I've escaped these so far as my plants are in pots and planters. Good luck with yours!
