I'd love to plant out my Sweet Peas and free up some room in my grow houses, but with the chilly nights forecast, is it too soon?
Thanks
Tom

They are hardy annuals tom, so I'm sure it's ok to get them in the ground. I'm running out of space for my seedlings too, so much the more hardy annuals you have that are ready for planting the better.
That's great, thanks Bright star!
I harden mine off by putting outside and bringing in at night for two/three weeks gradually allowing them out all night
we a lovely chap called David on the forum when I began and he was a sweet pea guru. He advised this and it has never failed. They often sulk in the ground when first planted anyway.

Mine are out. I just couldn't stand it any longer. I do harden them off and they don't seem to be sulking.
Just keep a few sheets of newspaper handy. Drape it over the plants if a frost is forecast.
Thanks again for the advice everyone, i have been hardening them off for a couple of weeks so planted them outside last night. I'll be keeping some newspaper handy though - good tip 'fidgetbones'!
