The sunshine may be here but cold nights are still unavoidable!
A large selection of summer bedding is already on the shelves of the garden centres, DIY stores and super markets.
Those of you desperatly wanting to get into the summer mood by planting up your hanging baskets, window boxes and patio pots, please remember a cold night will severly damage these very tender plants.
In a way it is best to plant them now, to give them time to fill out and mature before you hang them out, just please remember to put them indoors overnight as they will not tolerate cold night temperatures.
Traditionally summer bedding was officially 'safe' after the May bank holiday weekend.This is a good rule of thumb and we don't have long to wait!
Another tip is not to do all your pots and baskets in one go, simply because the closer we get into the warm weather more and more differnt and interesting varieties of bedding will become available.
Enjoy mixing and matching your flowers together...with lots of colour you can never really go wrong!
