Thanks I did think of just sinking them in the bigger pots but still within their own pots and then come spring time can plant out as normal. Will probably give that ago and hopefully it will work. Also have lots of lavender too that I potted up two to a pot in the hope that they would just combine as one plant, don't know whether to sink those also. The plants are the ones mentioned above, I have just left it too late to try and do anything with, they probably should have been put out a month or so ago but with the weather being as it is, haven't had the inclination to get out in the garden and so there is loads that needs tidied first before I pot any new plants in. Hopefully next year is a better year weather wise!
I wonder Christopher sometimes if you read what has already been said before wading in-bubblegum has already said there is no cold frame or greenhouse or that something cannot be constructed
I read the advice given above and that sounds good to me -the plants aren't being potted on just put in a bigger pot still in their pots with the protection of the house
I am sure you mean well but sometimes...................
now is the perfect time to plant out perenals. i have also plantd roses this weak and tulips.the soil is still warm her in devon although it has been a tad damp this weak. next weak i am planning to plan some tulips and i will also be putting in some primulas for the spring. i do think it is a god idea to kep some plant in the greenhose as they can get a bit wet down here. i am also going to put some walflowers out as well this weekend so i should have a god display next spring.
I'd look into getting a very cheap cloche, coldframe or pvc greenhouse if you possibly can. Last year (about this time of year) I bought a 3 tier pvc greehouse and a very, very cheap coldframe (the frame was about £30, the greenhouse about £16). To say how cheap they were, I am really pleased with the coldframe, and think it will last a good few years. I used them in spring to protect some plug plants, and all survived the late frosts we had up here in Yorkshire.
In very cold weather, I put some polystyrene sheets under the trays with the pots in, and put the whole lot in a sheltered corner of the patio. This had the added bonus that on milder days I could open the top and let some natural rainwater in, and didn't have to harden them off as I would have had to do if they'd been in a heated greenhouse.
Coldframe came from Amazon, PVC greenhouse from ebay, and another 2 places to look for inexpensive garden stuff is Poundstretcher and Wilkinsons, I'm sure you'll have at least one of these near you. Sometimes Aldi or Lidl have walk-in greenhouses (£30 last year), but it's the wrong time of year to look. Can you tell I'm used to gardening on a very tight budget??
lot of us have the same plant's by the sound of it.think it's best leave them in the greenhouse, etc till next year.if they are not well rootted your going to lose them.play safe for me.
Thanks all, I do have a three tier pvc greenhouse that is at my dads that I would away in August but I think to put this back up may result in it getting damaged over the winter as we tend to get strong winds and there was one time back in March of one year when a three tier greenhouse got lifted up with all my seeds in it and blown across the garden. I did have a look online last night at the coldframes and see that like mummy muddypaws you can get one for about £30, so I may invest in one of those and that would solve my problem till springtime. Just all comes down to space to put it, as I have pots and containers everywhere, but I am sure I could squeeze one in, even if it were at side of house.
Thanks everybody for all you valued responses. I will keep all my plants in the greenhouse over winter until spring.I will still keep an eye on them over the winter months and will respond as to how the get on. Thanks again.
