I know some of us have done early sowings and our seedlings, now plantlets been sitting in the greenhouse (heated or unheated). I'm thinking of planting out soon in bed with fleece and bubblewrap protection (our last expected frost where I am is 1st week of May). Anyone in the same dilemma?

I tried carrots 2 weeks ago-not sprouted yet. My raddishes came up - sown 1 Feb. I put a broad bean seedling from greenhouse out yesterday so will see if that survives this week. I put some Cauliflower Seeds-All year round in the bed to see how they go. Last week seed of different peas went in ground. The neighbours peas have sprouted.You know you're a hard nosed gardener when you pull the weeds from others plots!

Actually I have my mangetout planted out since february, carrot (parmex) and elephant garlic planted last week. This week will be spinach (normal spinach not the beta vulgaris one) and some salad leaves (mix salad of mesclun). I am not rushing with more planting/sowing as I stil got some ready to harvest collards, radish,mustards, rainbow chard, mache, nero di toscano, water cress, black carrot and some early PSB (start to form florets).
My autumn garlic has been growing very well, now forming their 3 pair of leaves. The rest of the seedlings are heat lover(toms,pepper,chili,tomatillo,squash,etc) which stays at the windowsill.I grow, I pick, I eat ...

Jeruslam artichokes
At home, put a few things (baby plants) in ground over weekend:
Mange tout
Dwarf french beans
Borlotti beans

I have a courgette that may go in at home in a few weeks where I can fleece if necessary
Otherwise, mostly still very small seedlings for later plantings

I've planted (all pot-grown plants, hardened off, apart from carrots and potatoes ):
early peas
summer cabbage
summer cauliflower
lettuce
carrots
early potatoes
shallots from seed
spring onions
Some in the ground, some in large pots.
I'm waiting a couple of weeks for the first beetroot and a couple more for calabrese.
I've grown these crops before in a cool spring (apart from the shallots from seed) and they have been able to stand up for themselves. They'll be covered if temps drop again, whcih they are likely to do.
It's getting too hot in the greenhouse during the day for the cool-lovers, so it's getting time to move the warm-lovers in
