do you think that beans, grape vines and toms in pots should go back in the green house?

  • I put my courgettes back in last night - going to take them out in a bit.

    Our greenhouse got to 11.4'C last night - assume it wasn't much colder outside though that wind was nasty.

    Until the risk of frost is gone it's always worth keeping very tender stuff safe at night - for most bits of the country its probably ok now - unless we get a sharp cold night.

    Watch the local weather forecast and decide yourself. It's always better to move plants in than buy new ones.

    If you think it's going to be cold, then yes. Weather is very local so it's up to you.
    I walk out in the evening, after looking at a couple of weather sites and look at the sky, taking everything into consideration, including my experience with my local weather, I make a choice to cover everything up or not.
    Sometimes I get it wrong :)
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    And what about covering your plants too! ;)

    I am still putting as much as I can back in the greenhouse in the evenings once the sun has gone.

    The wind picked up in the early evening here too last night so it was worthwhile.
