Sometimes I am really suprised by the differences in temperature between here and the UK - I have already sown outdoors spring spinach and early carrots and put them under fleece! The spinach is already showing through!
I also have broccoli and beets in the sheltered seedbed, under plastic and spring onions were directly sowed on Sunday!! (although I have terrible trouble getting them to work usually)
Then again I have no greenhouse so no way to do things differently than just chuck them outdoors...

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:

My brassicas are nearly on to their 2nd set of leaves and I am not sure when to plant them out.
With regards to spinach, I found that the stuff sown outside a few weeks ago has done better than the seeds in doors. I have found that spinach doesnt need protection and doesnt mind the cold

sowed beetroot and turnips outside a couple of days ago, old seed so if they do fail, nothing lost :)
