    You have 7c at night TS?? We don't reach 7c until 7th May, and then it drops again! I'm going to have to scrounge at the nursery again I think for small pots to plant up my chitted french beans...

      Nope, not planting out yet; but could be persuade to wait a fortnight-ish. We get frosts right up to the end of may.

        You got me worried now...I have planted seedlings indoors but some I have planted outside cause it said so on the package (sorry I am a newbie at this so I better do as I'm told :-))
        That's what I've planted outside last week:

        Spinach
        Carrots
        Broccoli
        Purple Sprouting Broccoli
        Some flowers (lillies, a rose, and some I can't pronounce the name of :-))
        Salads (some of them I planted inside)
        Onions
        Potatoes

        Granted, we had no frost but it wasn't particularly warm either...Do I have to worry?

          I've got all sorts planted out in the garden. Broad beans, runners, garden peas, onions garlic and carrots. They're a bit wind blown but all doing well surpsisingly Rhubarb, raspberries, gooseberries all shooting greenly as are the strawberries. I've thrown caution to the wind literally If it fails I'll just plant some other things hey ho I have enough to worry about!
          You may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...

            Nothing here. Been concentrating on getting the beds ready in between keeping them covered up. Everything is in pots in the greenhouse but with the late start this year they are quite happy there

              Planted plants, or sown seed?

                No beans sown as yet, neither French nor runners. Broadies are ready to plant, but my overwinter ones were planted into the polytunnel this growing year. Sweetcorn, squashes, Winter and Summer not yet sown. All happening in the next few days. I am aiming for a planting date in late May/early June. I can't see the temperatures stabilising before then. My trenches are ready and everywhere is mucked/mulched and ready.

                    my pak choy has been out for 2 weeks and is growing, my pea's are under cloches and are alive, but i do have a back up in the greenhouse.
                    but it is a gamble if you put out too early.

                      My broad beans have been out for weeks, as have garlic, perennial leeks and onion sets.
                      None of the "soft" stuff yet.
                      Peas and beans, potatoes and lettuce are in the GH in pots and will spend the rest of their days in them

                        I've had toms and chillis outisde in pot in a plastic green house for about 3 weeks as the back of our house was knocked down and rebuilt we lost pretty much all but one windowsill. theyre still alive but i dont know if theyll flourish this year. they might be stunted we've had at least one frost since then.

                        i sowed some beetroot, carrots scorzanera runner beans and peas a couple of weeks ago whe it was 19C here in a very sunny spot. needless to say only the carrrots and beetroot have come up to say hello.

                        plenty of weeds have germinated though.

                          I have had some peas and broad beans out for about a week and am looking at planting out some of my brassicas. Ideally would leave it a bit longer but going away so stuck in the do I or don't I dilema. Probably plant half and save half and hope at least one lot make it.

                              I'm from your neck of the woods and have sown lettuce, beets,spinach,rocket,carrot, strawbs. I just cover them up with fleece overnight when a frost is predicted. Should be ok I reckon
