Doing it now will be fine. The idea of liming early is to give the rain
time to wash the lime in, which helps it break up heavy soils. Provided you
dig the ground over just before planting (which we all do anyway), this will
incorporate the lime and things will be fine.

Is it too late now to lime on my acid soil (for brassicas). I'm in
Lancashire, so I probably won't be planting until late March.

Thanks.
