Planting out tomatoes
« on: May 25, 2013, 09:34:24 »
I need the room! I'm hoping to plant out my bush tomatoes today, now the wind has calmed down (for a little anyway!) :icon_cheers: They're going to have a large cloche over them, hope they will be ok as I noticed frost on the grass this morning! I've still some more cordon varieties to plant in the poly tunnel and some really cute small dwarfs which will probably go in pots if I can't find room in a bed outside. Quite excited, until the rain and storms return on Monday  :BangHead:

Me too. I've just got to move some out or the greenhouse will burst, and I'm tired of moving them in and out every day for hardening off. My hardiest varieties get planted out today, with what shelter I can muster up, and placing bricks on the soil surface around them to hold the sun's heat. Softer varieties will be waiting to see what happens to the weather next week.

Mine looked fine this morning (despite their being frost on the grass nearby) and are enjoying the sunshine again today. Tomorrow looks like it will be a toughie, heavy rain and windy  :BangHead:

Next weekend for me----I have had to turn away a couple of customers this weekend. My out door ones are just not ready yet.
