Vegetables
In warm corners, in the greenhouse or under glass, a few seeds of cabbages, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts can be sown. Bolder gardeners may want to try their luck with lettuce, spinach and minicarrots but the weather will determine success. Brussels sprouts should have priority in terms of seedsowing, as they require the longest growing season of the brassicas, which include cabbage and cauliflower. Sprouts will take two to three months from sowing to transplanting into the garden where they are to mature. The earliest potatoes may be planted now but will need protection from frost when shoots come through. Rhubarb,
Jerusalem artichokes and asparagus can be planted now.
