    Well, I got down cabbage, beans, Garlic and Japanese onions that should - one hopes - be up by May.
    Also going in next week are rhubarb cuttings to a new, dedicated fruit bed.

    Any other suggestions?

    Kales grow well , Hungry Gap might be the best for an early cropping variety.
    You could grow other brassicas as well, purple sprouting brocc. etc

    Bought some first earlies onion sets and will plant them this weekend. Would also like to get some garlic down. Would ordinary supermarket cloves produce bulbs? Thanks, first time planting these veg.

    I grew garlic from a supermarket bulb last year and it was very successful.

    I hope anyone that has root veg in the ground has a good covering of straw to keep the frost damage down.
