Good afternoon everyone. I have just planted strawberries and herbs in respective planters. Should I bring them in at night or are they ok to be outside, even though there is the risk of frost? Sorry if this is an elementary question but, as you will appreciate, although a pensioner, I am new to this! Thanks in advance.

Bring the coriander in. The others should be OK.

Flossy you say you've planted the herbs in a 'planter' is this a trough or one of those containers with several openings? If the latter the rosemary is going to get much too big.

Thanks Moon growe - yes, it is a planter with several openings. So should I remove the rosemary and re-plant on its own do you suggest? Sorry to be such a novice!

Flossy we all have to start somewhere, ye remove the rosemary and plant in the ground if at all possible. You'll need to watch the mint too or it will take over the whole planter. You could put marjoram in where you take out the rosemary.
