Thanks redalder. interesting to hear how people grow things in other parts! When I was in holiday on the Scilly Isles the owner of the B&B said he had to tie his cabbages down with tent pegs to stop the wind blowing them away!!

The stream is the problem, though I'm actually at the Guinea Gardens. It's an old mill leat, and I'm between it and the natural stream course. So there's lots of waterlogging, plus the flash flooding.

There is a site that will give you an idea of the first and last average date for frost in your area here.

Difficult list that - I live in Maidstone, the county town of Kent, not included!? Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge also not included - Canterbury also not included. Why, because I think it's based on weather station locations so you have to go through and find your nearest weather station which might be an obscure village some way away.
