[T-lady]

How do I find out when my last expected frost will be?

How do I find out when my last expected frost will be?

Have a look here...

First and last frost dates for towns and cities in the UK and USA

Cool! "Early May" for the last frost. Some things should be big enough to plant out by then! Until then - only the potatoes are in the ground and stuff that has overwintered. Last year the frost got the first earlies' leaves but this year I will be earthing up as and when I see greenery appearing.

[MrsC]

In the ground I have:

Potatoes (today)
Garlic (overwintered)
Onions
Shallots
Radish in pots
Herb salad leaves in troughs

In the greenhouse (unheated):
Runner beans
Pumpkins

On the windowsills:

Courgettes
Toms x 2
Dwarf French beans
Sweetcorn

plus lots of flowers, sweet peas x 2, sunflowers, cosmos x 2 plus loads more

Going to move a few things round and sow some more seeds tomorrow

planted potatoes,parsnips,fennel(under cloches)broad beans and borlotti beans outside over weekend.lots of other things in greenhouse and on window cill waiting to go.....just didn't have anymore time left at weekend.Just hope mild weather continues for a bit longer.

[Eyren]

I've got:

* garlic and broad beans already in (obviously)
* early potatoes (bit more risky, but we're quite warm and dry here in East Anglia)
* Early Nantes carrots - sown under cloches in early Feb and all germinated nicely (except a couple of patches where the cloches kept blowing off in the gales!)
* Spinach - sown a few days ago
* Coriander - just getting its first true leaves (self-seeded)

Lots of other stuff in the conservatory, of course!

Cool! "Early May" for the last frost.

Don't wanna put down this website but you are quite considerably further south than I am (I'm 35 miles North of Inverness) and it says my last frosts are Early May too !!

Really ? Then a revised one down my way must be mid April .

[King Carrot]

Nothing at all truly outside,

the broad beans & peas are under fleece, and the early spuds, carrots & spinach are in home made cold frames,

As we're right by the ocean we rarely if ever get a frost, its the constant gales along with the never ending rain that do the damage, so everything is protected or totally under cover until at least early may.

Lots of stuff coming along on the window sills & homemade greenhouse!

I noticed this too and assumed the site was giving a generalised UK date rather than any info on local microclimates (I checked Dundee too since I used to live there). But last year I planted my tatties on 4th April and the first green tips got frosted so there must have been a frost at the end of April/beginning of May.

All we have out is winter onions, garlic and new strawberry plants, do you think it is too early for shallots?
