Duke of York and British Queen (the royalist obsession is purely down to the breeders!) are in already. PFA and Vitelotte will be following before long. They'll just sit as the soil warms up to the point where they can get moving.

Not sure what you mean ???

I never worry about blight as there is nothing that I can really do about it!

I either catch it or I don't.

You asked what is the latest I would plant out and I said end of May but I am more likely to plant out from early to mid May.

Does this answer your query?

As an aside - seeing Cara mentioned - of 5 varieties, Picasa (ex Cara) - was the least slug damaged.

And no blight.
