outdoor success with cukes & toms?

[Irish-Veg]

Im quickly running out of space in the greenhouse and still have about 9 beefsteaks to be planted out as they are just developing their flowers now, so im thinking of doing 1/2 inside and the other half in a sheltered spot.

Also thinking of moving out the red robins and directly planting them on my other plot, though not sure how they'll fare :s.

I have 2 marketmore cukes outside producing cukes now and another one in the gh romping away like crazy.

also thinking of removing one of my Gardners delight and just putting it in a sheltered spot outside, even with hardening off, will it disturb it too much, it has fruit set....

anyone had much success with tomatoes directly planted out?

My first tom this year (picked earlier this week) was from a Tumbler in a hanging basket on a south facing wall. Plenty of toms in the GH but none ripe yet.

I have Marketmore cucs outside doing well.. one with a nice big cuc nearly ready for picking...
I have a number of tom plants outside too, up against a south facing wall... All doing fine so far and some with fruit set..
Even in last year's disaster of a summer, I got ripe toms from 3 Totem plants grown outside...
Hopefully this summer will be better

This is my first year trying toms planted outside. Mainly because I have no room in my greenhouse ! It's a case of doing and seeing as far as I'm concerned, if I get fruit from them then all well and good.
Hope it goes well for you!

Tomatoes outside at home have worked well, but they tend to get blight too quickly at the allotment. I've never had any success with cucumbers outside, but I suspect that's my fault rather than the cucs. They're doing quite nicely in the greenhouse this year

I've got my 4 spare toms and 2 cucs outside they seem to be doing OK just a bit behind those in the GH border.

Due to my TOTAL inability to throw ANY seedling away, I planted more than TWENTY various "spare" tomato plants into any available space on the plot last week. I don't hold out much hope for much of a crop compared to the monsters in the green houses, but I have to give them a chance to fulfill their Tomato Destiny''...
