Planting out

Hi,

I have just received a number of young plants (tomatoes, chilli pepper, sweet pepper, french beans, courgettes) from www.plantconnection.co.uk and have a dilemma as to when to plant them outside.

We live at 1000 ft on a hill facing the atlantic (Lots of wind). Nature up here is lagging several weeks behind the valley. Do we need to plant out with this delay in mind and shorten the season or can we plant out now the frost is gone? The plants obviously think it's time to be out.....

Bit of a conundrum this one.

Thanks

Anna
