I would sow some first early potatoes NOW, to harvest in Nov. or Dec. iirc SW lives in Manchester, likely to have potatoes killed by frost before then. Janet Actually I live about 10 miles South of Manchester in sunny, tropical Cheshire and when is your first frost date? Because once it happens the potatoes will lose all their leafy topgrowth and stop growing potatoes. Janet I've no idea and neither does anyone else. The Met Office don't know either. Gardeners first and last frost dates mean, the date at which you can (roughly) anticpate frost in your area and plan accordingly. http://www.keirg.freeserve.co.uk/diary/tech/frost.htm Janet That's based on a year before 1930. The weather isn't the same every year. Steve -- EasyNN-plus. Neural Networks plus. http://www.easynn.com SwingNN. Forecast with Neural Networks. http://www.swingnn.com JustNN.

t: Then in answer to your original question, I suggest now would be a great time for you to plant bananas. Baz is the banana expert. Janet How could you possibly know that!!!??? Plantains, actually. Not in the UK, but Australia and New Zealand, years ago as a young teenager. So, I am not bananas, I am plantains. You of all people ought to know that, being bananas AND a very clever person. Baz |
