Curiosity...what about the likes of Spring cabbage and spinach during Jan
and February....or does they just suspend their growth during those two and
then start up again in March?.....H

Effectively, yes. The light levels in the UK are so low in midwinter
that photosynthesis effectively stops, irrespective of temperature.
By February, the very hardiest things are starting up, but December
and January are dead months.

Hammer copper nails into the roots, or as low as you can...

Copper eh? So replacing the old bathroom lead plumbing with copper is not
such a smart move then?

Not if you are going to hammer it into your roots, no.
