Actually, this is a FPM (Frequently Posted Myth). There is relatively
little variation within the UK, though there is enough that simple
advice like that has to be modified for location.

What there is, is immense variation year to year, which is why the
magazines, television programs and so on are such tripe. If they
write their "What to do this month" more than a month in advance,
it will be wrong more often than not.

For example, this year is over a month later in gardening terms
than the two previous ones, at least away from the warm, wet west
and the deep south.

It's all very well giving good advice to others, but there's nothing
like setting an example, so it might be a better idea for contributors
to do a regular spot on what they had actually done in their gardens in
the previous week or so. Just a brief resume would do, i.e. planted
onion sets, cleaned greenhouse glass, pruned lavatera etc. etc., then
others could take up any points on which they wanted more information.
It would be topical, up to date and about practical gardening in action.
