Today, we finished transferring the majority of our seedlings into our raised beds in the vegetable garden, with the exception of the tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and courgettes that we’ve left in the safety and warmth of our studio because they are susceptible to frost. Given how unsettled the weather has been, we may have to wait till late May before we consider moving and planting the remaining veg. There are a few seedlings that are not frost hardy, so we’ve covered them with protective bins overnight to help them establish and acclimatise or they’ve been planted in the grow tunnels.
