Charles Dowding sowing timeline/calendar
I found this today, and I find it interesting that I've already sown a whole bunch of stuff 'too early', but I'm enjoying it, and everything seems happy, so I don't mind

Reckon you could get a sowing of early carrots in late February to March.

Interesting that he is near me and he says his last frost date is mid May....( which is similar to what I've found) but lots of gardening prediction sites alway say a much earlier last frost date. Nothing tender goes outside until end of May for me.
Starting to early can mean lots of pots in the GH and plants well over due to be planted out.

I'm intrigued by his dates. My seed packets for winter savoy say sow May, but he says the first week in July, which would suit me far better.
Note to self: Getting too old not to have a life.

That sounds more like a plant date, than a sow date doesn't it? Perhaps he has found, because his early winter weather is comparatively mild, in comparison, that they carry on growing for weeks longer than they would grown in the North?..... Just wondering out loud
