    Hey all,

    New to growing edibles, I seen some little vegatables sets in pound land and thought why not give it a go as it's something I've always wanted to do (or try at least lol)

    So my question are these ready to be planted outside?

    In order from left to right:
    Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Mixed Salad leafs x2

    Thanks in advance.

    Temperature wise i'd say yes, but they look a bit leggy, might benefit from being out during the day and bringing in at night.

    Reason being, plants grown under cover don't develop the stem strength from being buffeted by the wind. I'd hate for you to get put off by planting straight out and then finding snapped and munched stems the next morning :)

      Advice taken and noted! Moving them into garden now to start building up some wind resistance.

      Thanks.

        Nice one, at least we got a gentle breeze now instead of that plant killing gale.

        I put debris netting along the south west side of the plot, so then the wind changes to a north one :doh:

        Some folk brush their hands over trays of seedlings in the greenhouse to simulate the wind :)

        To be fair my garden is pretty well protected from the wind and rarely gets anything other than a breeze. But never the less I'll still give them a few days of wind resistance training :)

          They all look too small to survive outside in the ground, you need to grow them on a bit more.
