Tomatoes & Pepper Plants

I have two pepper plants and a tomato plant currently growing on the window sill in my spare room and wonder when is the best time to plant them outside. I have noticed flowers developing on the plants so should I remove these? I live in north Kent and we are having really windy weather at the moment so I'm worried about the wind damaging these young plants.

 

After your last frost date.

 

You'll need to harden them off first by putting them out somewhere sheltered during the day & bringing them in at night for a week to 10 days.

You're right about the wind, it can wreck tender seedlings. Plants growing outside develop strength by being buffeted, but stuff grown inside is not used to it.

The peppers need a really sunny spot and a hot summer to do well in the uk.

 

Just to tag onto this thread, could I get some tomato plants and pepper plants to put in my greenhouse now or do you think I should leave it a while just in case of a late frost?

 

Landimad, my tomatoes are still indoors and probably will be for another two weeks if that's any help.

 

I have yet to go and buy some, so wondering what to get for the greenhouse and for growing outside in bags?

With the weather on the up and then on the way down again, things are not in our favour for the tender plants. I can tell this from the plugs of Fuchsia's that have arrived and are not doing to well in the greenhouse.
