What sort of seedlings are folk planting out now?

My French beans are looking lovely and wondering when to plant out. I'm worried I've soon them a little too early 🙈

My calabrese and carrots can wait a few weeks more at least I think 🤔

I've got seedlings anxiety.

    Far too early for French beans to go out I'm afraid, but anything you have sprouted will do better if not kept too warm ( like over a radiator) a cool porch would help slow the growth, or a plastic greenhouse outside which would also help harden them off ready to go in the ground. I have only just sown my carrots outside under cover and won't be doing the French beans till next month, maybe you can keep them going, but if not plant some french beans seeds direct outside beginning of May.  Hope this helps.😁

    Nothing, way to early to plant anything outside here.

    Definitely not.  Far too cold yet.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Thanks everyone! I'll take care of them inside with some in and outside yoyo-ing and see if I'm lucky!

    I think I'll defo plant some French beans straight out in a couple of months. I think I got giddy when sowing seeds and just did them at the same time!

    Fingers crossed xx

    I'm waiting for April to plant seeds.

    Planted out broad bean seedlings 2 months ago......disaster. Think that the mice decided that the remaining  bean seed was for them.
    Have sown more indoors as well as chillies, peppers, melon and tomatoes but no where near ready to go out into the garden/polytunnel.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one getting giddy with sowing around here 🤣 just glad I've loads of seeds left in case it all messes up!

    All part of the fun.

    As long as I get carrots this year I'm happy. I failed miserably last year 🤞🏼
