RE: New vegetable plot - planning the summer crop
Having started planting, I've found that some things need more room than I'd planned, so chillis and peppers will definitely be in pots along the south facing wall with the tomatoes and aubergines. Probably a bit early for one or two things, I see the night-time temperature is going to drop again next week.
I had a brief stint working in a small garden center, making hanging baskets, my boss always used to advise the third week of May as a safe time to leave things out. However, if they're in pots, you can always bring them in and out. Better out in the day time, they get much more light than on a window sill.
They'll also do much better in a small greenhouse/ bit of plastic stretched over some bamboo canes.
Yes, most things are in pots, I knew it was too early for them. I was thinking about the plastic idea for the things in the garden. Luckily, they're in a nice tidy row!
