Hey folks! The weather looks really warm for the next couple of weeks, day and night, according to the weather apps. I'm wondering if now is a good time to start planting my annuals since I live in the midlands. Do you think we've passed the last frost? Thanks in advance!

Coming from West Yorkshire, I can tell you that we sometimes get frosts as late as June! At some point, you just have to take the plunge and pray for the best.
I'm based in NW England and went ahead and planted some already, but it's a bit of a gamble. I’ve got backups in pots just in case—impatience is my middle name!
I wouldn't risk putting anything too delicate out just yet. It’s tempting, especially if you have a bunch ready to go, but there’s always a chance of light frost.
Gotcha! So maybe give it another couple of weeks? If the forecast stays good, then it's time to plant? Also, just to clarify—by 'tender', do you mean things like violas and other annuals for pots?
