Hi Poohpourri,

It depends where they have come from. But you can begin to start planting out from now onwards-now if you live in Dorset and in about a month if you are near me.

 

I always look where its been displayed in the nursery or garden centre. If they have them under cover then I leave until later in the year. A good example is the plug plants now on sale everywhere, but still indoors

 

My Jasmine was from Morrisons about a month ago. It was one of those that they sell off half price and so i took it home and it is thriving (I really do have green fingers i think )
I popped it on my kitchen window and am not really sure what to do with it next as its absolutely climbing up the window ?????????

 

Just re-read your first post. It won't be winter flowering jasmine as they have yellow flowers and look a lot different.

Maybe re-pot it and see if you can find a suitable place for it until it gets warmer. The jasmine I have is as tough as old boots, loses its leaves but always regrows and blooms in April/May. But I've seen the ones in Homebase etc, sold growing around a hoop and already in bloom, so I don't know what ones they are or if they can go outside at all...

 

I wont put mine out yet as its not only filling my kitchen with an amazing smell but its too cold yet. I get a feeling with plants rather than going by instructions and will sit and look at the garden thinking and getting vibes on what to plant and where.

 

That's the best way I always find!

 

My daughter asked me what on earth was i doing today ?
I had a fork and a spade and after digging up so much, I sort of just stood there in a trance lol
Not only were my arms aching but, I felt so alive !
I had an old coffee table with lots of new plants and cuttings on and so I just stood there thinking ! Random like, where should I plant stuff !
I filled 12 bags with old weeds and rubbish and it took me about an hour to dig up a 4ft hole with a fork to get rid of this mental weed thing. I refused to give in till i got right down to the roots, I got it and started shouting, "come on you bstrd lol" I am in agony now but by gosh it was worth the effort .

 

Hi am in Enfield,Middlesex so i should wait? the other plants are shrubs that where outside
