  • Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll definitely sow some more but hope that the current ones stay alive.

    It’s not just frosts that are a problem for tomatoes if we put them out too early … tomatoes sulk if the temperatures go much below 12C or so, and it really sets them back … so I put them out during the day and bring the pots back indoors overnight … and keep doing that until we’re into June … in out in out … tomato hokey cokey 😂 

    As you’re in London hopefully your temperatures will be a little warmer than ours, so if you get a thermometer that shows the lowest temperatures at night in your garden it’ll help you judge when you can leave them out. 😊
