Notes

I planted five plants in each bag, in 2011. These were cut hugely for the first time, yummy! I need to re-pot this year, when planting time comes round, as the bags I planted them in decayed hugely in our awful 2012 here in the UK

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
