    Squash
    Outdoor cucumbers
    French Beans
    Runner Beans
    outdoor Tomatoes
    None of them I'm afraid to say are suitable for putting out now - if you have the time then the best bet to circumvent too much legginess is to put them outside in the day, then bring them in in the evening. Anyway better a leggy plant than a dead one.

        The weather has been so up and down this year that it's difficult to know what to do for the best. My g-house is burgeoning with plants and it's only because I haven't been able to dig and weed three raised beds that some are still inside. My little gardening helper is doing that for me today so they'll have to stay there until next week when (hopefully) the weather is more clement!
        I work very hard so please don't expect me to think as well!
