Notes

dwarf kale, half planted in the long pot with the sorrel, half planted in their own pot

24/1/2014 The individual pot is finished but the ones in the pot with sorrel still going, a little raggedy.

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.
