Yvan on Nostr: Trying to decide whether it is safe right now to get toms, chillies, and cucs into ...
Trying to decide whether it is safe right now to get toms, chillies, and cucs into the ground under cover... we're not yet past our "official" last-frost date, but frosts are feeling pretty unlikely right now.
The other factor is that in a week we are away for a week. If that week is particularly hot then the plants may not survive a week without a midweek watering.
So I think the safe bet is to start planting out in w/c 18th May.
