    they go outside during the day to acclimatise for about a week.

    after a week or so leave them overnight and see what they look like the next day. just keep looking out and checking out on them.

    Please check the weather forecast before you do :D

    Ahh we always have a frost about mind to late May, often early June. I hear people complaining about it all the time this year, but it's not that different to other years now. Spring was a little late starting though.

    You'll know if it's too cold as the tom leaves will turn blue if they catch a chill
