list of planting time

[rita1]

hi just wondered if there is a list to tell you when to plant your veggies out, i never know when Brussels sprouts should go out and lots of other veggies, it would be helpful if there was a list i could print off and put in my diary.
thanks

The guides that BM has linked to are really useful, but remember that your best guide is the weather - if you know when is the last frost date in your area, you can sow anything frost tender about 3 weeks before, then harden off in the days before planting out.

Thank you very much this is brilliant i have copied it and i will keep it in my folder.
now i have no excuse for getting it wrong.
i have a very good neighbour who loves her garden also and she is very helpful, but i don't want to keep asking her loads of questions, so i am glad that i have found this site, so i can ask on here instead.
thank you again

Rita have a look at this site :-

Gardening and weather - first and last frost dates in the UK, Australia and USA

after selecting where you live it gives you info on frost dates and when to plant.

i never know when Brussels sprouts should go out

That info is on the seed pack, but you need a bit of experience too. Experience, of course, comes with practise.

You need to harden seedlings off before they go to the Big Outdoors.

Me, I plant out when it's warm enough for my old bones (I don't need to be planting out in the sleet, not at my age); and when the gh is too full to get anything else in; and when the seedlings look big enough & tough enough to fight off a slug


You must know your last frost date, for tender plants. Do not even be tempted to think you can get away with planting out (non-hardies) before that date, even if you're working in a tee shirt and the sweat is pouring off your head.
