I've got loads of seedlings growing in propagators inside the house at the moment. I've bought one of those little plastic grrenhouses. When can I start putting them in there then?

Depends what they are.

Things like broad beans, runner beans, peas can go in there but watch for frosts, as can brassicas.

Stuff that cant is like tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce.

Still time for another frost, so watc hout!!

Depends what sort of flowers. Hardy perennials and annuals ( eg delphiniums/sweet peas )can be hardened off during the day now, if they are a decent size - ie big enough to have been potted on.

You must remember to bring them in at night.I have mine on a tray otherwise its a real pain carrying each pot back in each night. Half hardies wait until mid May to harden off during the day and only plant out once frost passed ( mid to end May dependent on where you are in the country ).

What flowers are you growing?

erm...loads but can't remember their names! Went mad in Wyevale in the seed section!

Easy to do

If you're not sure, best to treat them as half hardies to be safe.
