According to websites my last frosts should be in late April so I have passed this. Obviously we have had great weather this last month which may lull me into a false sense of security but this week it is looking like a minimum of 19 degrees in the day and 9 / 10 degrees at night.
All of my growing is in pots and I have tons of fleece and two blowaways so have the ability to offer even planted out plants some more protection at times if needed.
Tomatoes (Gardeners Delight) -
They have been going out in the day for a good 3 weeks now.
I am planning on planting them in their final position today as they really need to get out of the pots they are in. This will be into morrisons flower buckets. I thought about growbags but we are moving house in August and I thought pots would be much easier to move.
Can I get them outside day and night now? If so would it be a good idea to put them in the blowaway at nightnso they still get a bit of extra protection?
French Beans and Courgettes -
Both were only sown 2 weeks ago in 3 inch pots. French beans are up to 5 inches high, courgettes are about 3-4 inches high and have 2 true leaves. These have been out during the day all week and in at night. Can I plant out my french beans now?
Courgettes - do I need to gradually pot on into bigger and bigger pots such as I did with tomatoes before they go into a flower bucket each? And again, when can I get them outside or into a blowaway day and night?
Chillies and Peppers - I think these need to be kept indoors for a long time yet? I do put them out in the day when we have been having these lovely hot sunny days though so they are also nice and tough.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
