Is it too early...

[Eternal Sunshine]

We've got our greenhouse up so have planted loads of seeds - hope there aren't any frosts this w/e! It's too much of a temptation when the weather is sunny not to try to fill the greenhouse.

Hope everybody has there fleece a the ready as I doubt we have seen the last of the frost for the year.
Last year I planted runner beans far too early and had had to plant them out because of the sheer size. Got caught with a few frosty days and nights in May. I wrapped fleece all over them and they came through just fine. It looked really weird, like a line of ghosts in the garden.
This year, I haven't planted them yet. Going for my early gamble on other things.

Too cold here for anything outside (200 metres above sea level in Moorlands) except lettuce. All in unheated greeenhouse but put heater on last night and fleece and will tonight as forecast is for frost..

We often lose our apple crop due to frosted blossoms: covering them with fleece is a real pia so I rarely do

we got our toms outside in the greenhouse at home that way if we get a frost we can go out with candles and flease we have more in the house but these where a bit to big to keep in the house now we also got our first tom only small and green but its our first and we are proud of it. I think a semoronial eating is on the way
sorry if this does not make sence
(its the drugs )

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security if this is your first year growing, people. It's unseasonably warm. After 30 years veg growing I don't trust the weather yet! Hardy stuff is out but frost tender stuff still follows me in at night. It's part of my Keep Fit campaign, the yomping to and from the greenhouse!

Thanks Flummery, i take heed of the warning, i think i will carry on taking in the delicates at night for a while

I wont be planting softies out till at least the last week in May and that will be after lots of hardening off.

I've got all my seedlings in an unheated greenhouse and whilst they are looking fine I do cover them with propagator tops at night. I must say though that they are not going great guns in the growing race, but I have noticed that they are putting alot of roots on, so not all lost. I put peas which are now about 3 inches high in roottrainers down into the polytunnel on Monday (running out of space in the greenhouse!), but got the fleece ready for them too!

This is the earliest I have ever sown (new greenhouse!), so I have only sown small amounts of everything - just in case! Given the weather south at the weekend (26 degrees compared to our 10 degrees) I see how you can get carried away with wanting to get things outside. Most of mine never even get outside!

You might lose your runners Bubblewrap as we are forecast frosts this weekend. Soft outside plants like beans I have only just sown in pots. Protect them with fleece if you can.

No worries I have more as back ups in the greenhouse.
Fleecing non too easy!
But thanks for he warning I am not the only one on our site to put beens out this week.

I've been lazy and cheated. Most things were too big to keep bringing in and taking out, so I've left everything out for the last two nights and stuck the heater back on in the 8x6 g/h (mainly toms). The bedding plants and fuschias g/h remains unheated.

Aubs, cukes and courgettes are still indoors. Courgettes are a bit leggy though.
