Got carried at the garden centre and bought trays of the following:

Geraniums
Busy Lizzies
Marigolds
petunia
hollyhock
french lavender

No sooner had I arrived home we had the freakiest weather-hail, high winds and rain lashing rest of day and all night.

I don't know what I should do with them all now this weather has turned so nasty. Should I just keep them watered and keep in the shed til the weather improves?

The lavender is worrying me the most because its quite flimsy and doesn't look as though it would survive high wind at this stage.

What should I do?
There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.

    Don't leave them outside yet - especially not tonight with the frost forecast. Do you have windowsills they can live on for a couple of weeks?

    would you believe I haven't a single windowsill in the whole house? I live in a victorian cottage with sash windows from ceiling to the high skirting boards.

    I watered them all today and for now they are in my car boot-I figured they would be safe in there! I have laid them all out so they cannot move so should be ok. I rolled back the boot cover so they will get plenty of light during the day.

    Greenhouse with wheels!

    Sounds like a good plan. They could come out in the day.
