    Sounds OK then. Just seems awfully early to me. Maybe weather is seriously mild over your way?

    had a look at Wudnerground. Looks like last year you only had a couple of nights of Frost in March, and temperature barely got that low in April.

    Lucky you!

          thanks jack

          I do love working on the plot and I love being out side, I am aslo lucky that my own garden is good to go all beds composted and turned and all covered with cardboard to warm them up and keep down any weeds :dbgrtmb:

          lots of seeds started off in the greenhouse and my house

          i just know that if i do half a job this year and i am still here ( have faith that i will be ) next year i will be really miffed off that i didnt do it right this time !!

          Always practice safe spudding, don't want to catch any potato viruses.
