If you really are a man and you're anything like my father-in-law (87 this year) the answer is 'You will probably never learn'
He's had all his hanging baskets pots etc outside in position for the last 10 days - in Yorkshire - again.
Many years he has to replace some if not all of them because they get frosted.
Does he learn? - never - not in the 30 years I've known him
(Love him to bits though
)
ye i'm a man , none taken
Absolutely none intended
One year I will - I definitely, definitely will - remember to tie in the clematis on the back fence before it forms a huge birds' nest - and I will stake the delphiniums before they start to flop - and I will do successional sowings of salad leaves - and I will....
One year I will learn too
Hazel thx and yes they are toms , I potted one on that was similar size but it had hardly any roots , so I'll leave them a bit . To be honest I don't hold much hope for them , they're a foot and a half tall but the bottom leaves are dying and falling off , lesson learned
This is my first year growing from seed and i went a bit crazy
literally plants everywhere, my wife says our house may as well be a greenhouse haha
Oh well at least the dahlias will be planted out later!
Thx Tom , glad it's not only me , must be a man thing
Definitely not just a man thing. My window ledges are covered, upstairs and down
the dining table is pushed as close to the window as possible and also covered in goodies. Husband thinks I'm a loon (but he hasn't complained about eating his tea off his lap infront of the telly box!! 
)
started taking them outside today- what an effort! Who needs a gym membership hey! 10 days or so and all being well normality will be resumed! Fingers crossed
That's great news Keenie , just this minute took some plants out but it's blowing a gale and it's freezing swear I could hear the plants shouting " are you mad ! get me back indoors "
