Am I too late to sow seeds and what can I plant in May?

Hi all,

Here is  a quick guide to help with a frequently asked question on the groups this week.

For an allotment keeper who does not live 5 mins from their plot, planting out early may is risky.

If the weather report threatens a morning frost (and let's be honest, unless there is a clear sky that has frost written all over it the reports are not fool proof) you would be daft to leave your seedlings unprotected. It is not an option for me to dash to the plot and try to rescue things.

I will have to wait until the end of May. My greenhouse is rammed and I'm itching to get them out. But to loose everything I've grown from seed for months and months would be DEVASTATING! so best to twiddle my green thumbs a bit longer =)
