  • got a ? do you more experienced gardeners think my little baby's will be big enough to be planted out into the garden this year

    It really will depend on how big they get, have you got anywhere you could make a nursery bed? image
  • I may have but I am also working on my wife to let me get a lean to green house for the top of the garden that has a unused carport with no roof just a back gate.i can get one from amazon for under £100.00 I think that would be the best idea as I have lost a lot of young plants in the winter. what do you think bekkie imageimageimageimage

    Hi Anthony, as Bekkie said it depends how big they get, I asked a similar question about my first ones.  I have since planted half in the garden and half are still in pots as an experiment!

    They shouldn't need to go in a GH as all are hardy and they should be big enough by then to stay out (I think).

    This thread might help, although it may also get confusing as there are differing opinions image

    Of course Anthony, you can do so much with a GH and you could even grow some tomatoes for your wife and start annual bedding plants off early (eg sweet peas)...... So many benefits it would be cruel to not allow you to have one.  However, just for the record it took me 3 yrs to persuade my husband to let me have a new one in place if the decrepit one I had that wasn't even fit to call a GH image
