good luck
you can learn a lot by reading others posts here too, some very experienced gardeners as well as newcomers who ask some very interesting questions.

Thanks natures Babe..tried to register just as tango man , not allowed too , not enough signs/symbols etc...
Chees for the reply and will keep coming back for information ...
Nice one.
Tango man..

A while ago I asked if anyone anywhere had seen a FANTASTIC ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC veg planner - I'd stumbled across it last october - you input your postcode and it adjusts all the sowing/planting times for your area according to frosts etc. Amazing.........

LOst it, couldn't find it. Just read your post - and thought I'd give it ONE LAST TRY...googled 'veg planner'...and it came up top of the pile - do not believe it...

so, if any use to you...here it is...

Cheers ..had a look and it is excellent..also found a good one in the KINGS seed catalogue as well.

Beware - the frost dates are wildly optimistic so the plans it comes up with could easily end in tears.

Looks accurate, simple to use, and no misleading frost dates.
