sweet peas

I have my sweet peas in the greenhouse is it too early to put them out, I also have lupins and cosmos I have grown shoiul d I leave them a few more weeks??

 

I just took my pot of sweetpeas out of greenhouse at 7.30am but will pop in back in at night.

Does your greenhouse have heat Sue.

 

no heating butgets very warm during day so I leave door open. Not sure how low temp gets at night. Like you I have put most of my plants out and will take them in tonight, but is it too early to plant out. This is the first time for me using a greenhouse or having grown from seed so perhaps I am too impatiant!!!

 

I think you'll find sweet peas are pretty tough customers, despite their lovely fragrant flowers. I usually sow mine in pots in the autumn and leave the small plants out all winter in a plastic-covered cold frame. In fact, I've even left them out in the open near the house without ill-effect (although, of course, we haven't experienced harsh winters for years).
I've often thought the name "Sweet peas" is ill-advised as the plants are, in fact, poisonous and shouldn't be eaten.
I would guess the lupins can look after themselves, too but I would be inclined to be a bit more patient with the cosmos, just in case there are any late frosts.

 

This is a wonderful country, particularly weather-wise. Sue, Bobj is in North Devon. Jack b.t.h. is in London Both warmer than Yorks/Lincs. My sweet peas are coming out of the g.house, weather permitting, in about 2 weeks. I think we are closer to Scotkat in weather terms.

 

Sue due to lack of space my sweetpeas have been kicked out of the cold frame although I have put them tucked to one side in a sheltered spot shortly I'll be planting them out fingers crossed all well go well.Hel.xxx.

 

I have put some out to see how they go, but have saved some just in case!!!
