Hello Jo,

You're in a lovely place to make a garden, many more days of sunshine than
just up north where we are, near Alencon in Normandy.

Beware of wind, otherwise, try to find a place where the soil is nice and deep.
Shouldn't be hard where you are. And that is open to the south for sun, of
course.

Whoever told you that the last frost is passed should have their head examined.
Don't believe it for a second. It will be unusual if you don't see some at least until
early-mid-april. Here we leave the tender tub plants in the tunnel until may 1,
anyway.

-E
