Allotments 4 All

so i've got some mange tout and kelvenden wonders(i think thats correct) in house at the moment, they lived inside during our recent house move.

the mange tout are just under a ft tall and flowering the peas slightly less and no flowers yet (though i have more in an earlier stage)

can i plant them out now? will they die in frost? can i plant out then cloche them or should i be keeping them inside for a while longer?

same with french and runner beans, not got any on the go yet so can i plant direct now or wait?

You should have planted them out a couple of weeks ago from the sound of it! Peas are basically hardy, but the modern wrinkle-seeded type tend to rot rather than germinating, and they need warm soil. That's their only point of non-hardiness; once they've germinated they're fine.

oh ace! thanks :) they'll go out this week then

all our peas have been out for a couple of weeks and our kelvedon wonder are just showing outside  ;D
