    My last frost date is about a month earlier on this site.
    I think that that map is a bit too early with its dates tbh!
    I'm on the borderline between light and mid green ( between March 21st and April 10) but that's too early we get frosts until at least the end of April. I don't count it as being reliably frost free until the 2nd week of May.

      My Home is 1-10 April and my Allotment is 11-20 April according to this and that is about right based on my records for the last seven years.

        Mine's 11th-20th March which is about right too as I always think that April is safe.
        There's also a First Frost map - Nov 11th- 20th here. That's 4 months of the year that may be frosty and 8 months clear.

          I looked at this one too - these are good as a loose guide but be cautious as they all look a bit early for me. I won't leave my toms in the GH overnight until May.

            That sounds about right

            It's pretty much the pattern that I've been following the last few years with good results.

                  I have Sweetpeas in the heated prop just now, chillies will go in next, then weather dependant, I might start the Tommies in March
