Baskets & Tubs...


I have a cold frame full of baskets waiting to go out and growing like daft, a greenhouse full of tubs and a flower tower also waiting to go out, and growing like mad....But when I will get them out goodness knows, on the airport run this morning, I went thriough rain, hail stone, sun and wind, the temp went from 9 down to 4 on the way down, and 4 up to 9 on the way back!!! Has anyone put theirs out yet???

I have my baskets up out front. It is quite a sheltered spot, so not usually any probs putting them out now. Seem to be taking well.

Different side of the Pond but same problem! I have nine amaryllis waiting to go outside, two Xmas cacti, a big fern and an enormous spider plant, plus some small spider plants and a night blooming cereus ! It's been too rainy and chilly! And the soil's not warm enough yet to plant my shell beans......
