    Whereabouts are you Sara?  I'm in Norfolk and mine have been out for about 10 days and they're fine image

    Mine are also going out this weekend (in fact in about 10 minutes!) and I'll be also planting some seeds in the gaps between plants as usual, just in case anything happens to them (eg slugs, pigeons, hail, frost, wind - just a few of the likely culprits!) image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    S.Yorks and mine have been planted a week after being hardened off for a week, soil nice and warm and temperatures overnight haven't dropped below 7C, looking good image

    Thank you for your comments. I have put them out and they seem fine so far. I will get some fleece in case it gets too cold.  I'm in Buckinghamshire.
