Parsnips are generally the earliest to go in although you won't get anything
worth digging for a good while. What about early pototoes? You can pick
those young and some peas and summer cabbage.


Starting from now? Spinach and baby turnips will be the first to crop
followed by early summer cabbage like Hispi,early carrots, early
caulis and peas. Still time for broadbeans.
