Still too early to plant out bedding plants in the SE?

I bought some bedding at the garden centre last week - got a bit excited and couldn’t hold off any longer! I’ve been keeping them outside in a trig and bringing them into the utility room overnight.

Is it too early to plant out, do you think? Weather is glorious here during the day but temperature would drop at night, of course.

Way too early! Still had a frost here in the morning almost every day this week (midlands).

Yes too early, you need to be sure there’s no more frost. They’ll romp away once they’re planted and it’s warm enough.

Give it two more weeks

I have chanced it and planted out my sunflowers and peas. Seaside town in the south east.

I’d give it another couple of weeks.

Last frost date is May 10th where I am but it varies a lot

We have had frosts this week. I'm usually very eager to plant up my pots with bedding plants but I'm holding off for a couple of weeks.

We had frost last night -1.

I'm not planting out my runners, made that mistake last year and lost most of them :-(

I just bought some bedding plants too! What should one do with them for a few weeks ?

WellTidy · 23/04/2021 17:35

I will hold off too then. I’m putting the bedding plants, peas and runner beans out in the day and bringing them into the (unheated) utility room at night.
