Even here in France the spring is very late in starting. However, all but the red onions are now planted, the early spuds are in, and last weekend I sowed the first lot of peas, radishes and carrots.
In the coldframe outdoors I sowed some flowers plus spring onions and leeks.
Indoors I have aubergines, broccoli, red cabbage, peppers and the first round of tomatoes. As for courgettes and so on, they come up so quickly that I won't be doing mine till well into April as I put them outdoors here early May.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
