Tempted to plant out now - I lived on the south east coast and the weather forecasts seem to be good. Do you think nicotiania, zinnias, rudbckias, cosmos etc will be ok to go out now?

Depends on how risk adverse you are. I have planted out my French Marigolds as I started them too early in Feb, so are flowering now. My Dahlia, Gladioli, Freesia etc have been outside for a month or more. I left my Cosmos in the greenhouse but potted them up. I would put out Rudbeckia but not Nicotiania. South Coast and last week of April - I would plant out what you feel like.

plant out but a late frost will be an expensive re run to the gc for replacemnets.
cosmos seeds have only just gone in the soil but I am in east Yorks.
