This may seem like a silly question but I am new to greenhouses a lot of my plants are starting to flower e.g. petunia inside the greenhouse before they have come out into my garden is this ok

Even just a little touch of extra protection without a greenhouse has meant my geraniums and the odd tender fuschia are in flower. Looking on the bright side, flowering goes on much longer in cold weather like this. I have some parrot tulips and 2 almost black ones that have been in bloom ages. Spring is the most colourful time in my garden, so I am counting my blessings

I would nip the flowers off to give the plants a chance to bulk up rather than produce flowers inside. I am planting my hanging basket plants in to the basket now so that they have a head start when we are able to put them out.

I don't bother with bizzies but do with some other bedding plants

Given the cold weather you can't really get them into the garden yet so yes it is okay.
