Have you put your Aloe Vera Plants outside for the Summer?

Hi,
I've put my "jungle" of plants outside, but do remember that Aloe Vera plants can get sun-burnt if they are not used to the Sun (ironic when you think they can soothe human sunburn!). So try and choose a sheltered spot which doesn't get the full midday sun!
