I have run out of room in my greenhouse, tomatoes are now in the border and
bedding plants are galloping away as are the cucumbers.
My 6 standard pot grown fuchsia bushes (3ft 6 tall) were put outside this
afternoon. Pots buried in the ground.
Hope its not too early as some are in flower.
Location Surrey - Camberley - praying weather improves & no frosts.


Buy some horticultural fleece, find some old blankets, sacking etc. and have
it handy, just in case. If there's a frost forecast or if the night sky
suddenly clears, wrap them up.

I would have brought them back into the greenhouse at night and stood
them between the tomatoes for another couple of weeks at least, I
would say you are a month to early for planting out, esp standards.
Watch out for frost around the last couple of days of April, the first
couple of days in May.
I know the problem, I have got to find space in the next few days to
stand around 2500 dahlia cuttings
