But seriously I think timing is crucial and knowing your frost patterns, this means making/keeping notes essential.

You're not wrong - I think an element of 'panic' sets in when fellow plotteers talk about getting this and that in and sown already..... next year I will refer to my notes and bide my time .. ;)

I'm having an element of "mild concern" the other way. I'm new to the area (my third spring) and first season growing edibles here so I've no records to go on. I have been wondering if the neighbours are too embarrassed to tell me it is pointless trying or if they just aren't veg growers.
