    I have just checked our forecast and as of tomorrow we will no longer have single figures by day or night.   Whoopee!

    That'll be a relief, Obelixx.  We had 3.4 last night so I daren't put the runner beans out overnight yet.  17.5 max today though, very pleasant in the garden...

    Last night was clear skies and felt very cold @Liriodendron but after tonight's 9C (but wind chill 6C) we'll stay in double figures.   I have my 2nd jab tomorrow at 10:45 followed by weekly SM run.   Hoping any reaction will be delayed till Friday so I can get cabbage babies planted out tomorrow pm and then a pumpkins and squashes on Friday when it'll be warmer.

    I didn't do it but I will😐 
    Too busy cutting the grass. The daisy buds lay flat to dodge the mower - good. And the weeding theme for today was brambles..
    The tomatoes are definitely out tomorrow.  Definitely.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I braved it and planted mine out today. Going away tomorrow for a couple of nights so can’t be fussing over them🤞

    They're all out and potted on  - apart from a couple of horizontal  sunflowers - don't ask.
    I have too many tomato plants, so they're unlikely to succumb.
    Brachysome and laurentia, which are probably too far behind to do much. If they're biennial or perennial, they might just be worth the effort. I'll have to check.

    I got a bit fed up and planted out various flowers that I bought on a whim this evening. They've been in their tiny plastic pots while I tried to decide what to do with them but I finally just chose some random places to plonk them. Now I just have to figure out what in the heck I'm going to do with the dozens of vegetable seedlings.

    Sounds like my kind of gardening @Mander
    I take it you don't have an app either😏

    @B3 I have these fantasies of beautiful orderly garden beds where I have a plan of what goes where and when, but then I realise that it's a lot of work. Hopefully this time my random purchases actually stay annuals and don't morph into huge shrubs like last time.
