When Do U Plant Your Summer Bedding Plants Outside?

Im in the Northeast Jacque so ill be later than you, Usually at the end of may, To compensate ive planted up my Hbaskets and pots with bedding but left them in the Ghouse and theyv'e doubled in size, ive also potted some into bigger pots so when i eventually get to plant them out there a good size :) but my fingers arte itching to get them out hahaha Your seedlings are coming along Brilliantly and when the time comes to plant them out they should be a good size..

I don't really have summer bedding in my gardens, Jacque, but just want to say well done. All your seedlings look very healthy and should make a wonderful display...

i usually plant at the end of may jacque,, we can still get some ground frost, even though weather seems ok now you cant be sure,, im having to wait till end of june as we are going away and dont trust joe to water regually,, so i will be itching to get some in by then lol your plants are comming on great so dont take any chances jacque :o)

I plant mine out in May... but its probably milder down here on the south coast........your seedlings are doing well......I have planted sunflower seeds out already.........

I am all behind anyway. My lupins are forming buds in the pots! Will have to get a move on I think. Your garden is going to look amazing, Jacque. Keep the photos coming when they are all in flower.

How did you get Cleome to grow?? I planted some last year and this and none came up :o(, don't know what i did wrong LOL The rest look great Jacque, i have put some outside in the day to harden off but put back in mini greenhouse at night, i have put out foxgloves and hollyhocks and your lupins can go out when it stops raining they are doing great.

O Dee i know the Feeling Of Itchy Fingers well lol :) TT your garden is so Beautiful it dont need the help Of Summer Bedding :) Im just like u San worry about my Plants getting Watered when i go away on hoil as i go 4 2wks @ a time so i ask my lovely neighbour Ann 2 do it 4 me as My Teenagers 4get :/ Nothing like Planting Seeds is there Holly ? :) I do hope my Plants & Planting Schemes dont let me down or i wont be showing any pics Gee lol :)HHHmmmmmmmm well SK i did find they take longer than most seeds to germinate but i just kept them moist & warm & then they popped up& have grown quite fast since! :)

I'm doing my normal thing Jacque, which is to plant them out as soon as they are ready. I've done this for years and only once did I come a cropper.

Sounds good to me Toto :) i just Plant mine out begining of May & Luckly never had any Frost where i live :) What Annauls do u have Toto ? iv gone for Lobelia,Alysum & Petunias :)

Your futher up North than i am Jacque, I would still be carfull at the moment, we're suppose to be having a ground frost tonight here in Kent.

OMG really ! Iv got some plants outside tonite that are harding off :/ Thanx 4 the Warning Gail :)

We have to wait until end of May here Jacque....being so far north been caught out by late frosts before. Go for trailing and upright fuchsias mainly,with trailing lobelia and ivies.

I've not many Jacque but do have cornflowers, bidens, marigolds, night scented stock, cosmos, sweet peas and field poppies, all of which are already out and doing ok. I also have night phlox which are about ready to plant out and (with the kind donation of seed from Milky) I have Mina lobata which is not yet big enough to put out. The Phacelia seeds (Devi's Bugloss) you so kindly sent me are already about 5 inches high and have been out in the garden for about a week. All my annuals, probably like yours, were grown from seed.

Iv just popped outside to put My Summer Beddding into Ghouse for the Nite Jane/ray as Daff z about Frost being forecast :/ Iv lots of Fuchsias myself ,I love Trailing Lobelia so much iv even grown some myself this tyr 2 see how i did with it in a Cold Ghouse & its done ok :) Im so glad the Seeds did well 4 u Toto :) Iv not 4 gotten about your Rock Cress & Viola Freckles il post them as soon as their ready Toto & ur Viola Freckles 2 Jane/Ray :)
