handy site for the newer growers
« on: March 30, 2016, 18:58:57 »
I chanced upon gardenfocused  it is quite a handy site as you can enter your own area and details to get some good advice. I know there will always be conflicting opinions between us but this is a very good guide for those just starting or some of us who have senior moments and forget what we are supposed to be doing. Check it out.

Well I thought it was really useful...I could tick what I'm sowing this year, and it lists what week I needed to sow them in relation to my postcode! What a good idea, thanks for signposting that  ! :wave:
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

I've been using it for a couple of years now to calculate sowing times for me. Very useful!

Just checked it out & it is really helpful, especially knowing when the last frosts could be, thank you
