We took a dozen Harbinger tomato plants from our conservatory and put them onto the staging of an unheated greenhouse today. We will give them a couple of days to acclimatise, them plant them out into the prepared soil of the floor. We shall listen to the weather forecast! -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

In the absence of any other comment will venture a thought....suspect you might run into the same problem each year...all you need is frost protection at this time of the year and a small inexpensive parafin heater will do the job....if that is not to your liking why not some floating row cover which can be used year after year....it gives a few degrees of frost protection and basically that is all that you should need at this time of the year....our last frost free date over here is late May and I think nothing of such an approach and do not run into any problems.....my toms are outdoors now but under 5mm plastic and our weather pattern is somewhat more severe than yours....I happen to be quite familiar with the UK growing conditions being a renegade Yorkshireman living abroad....HW |
