Out of those, lettuce will emerge first (don't know about rocket so that
may be first). Beetroot are normally quickest of the others. Don't sow too
much this early as it can turn cold again like today. Try white turnips when
the ground has warmed up as they are better from fast germination. If you
have the facilities, sow some sweetcorn in small pots indoors, and
courgettes, ready to put outside to harden off when this awful wind goes
down
