Post Re: VEG GROWING PLANNER - finally refound it
A while ago I asked if anyone anywhere had seen a FANTASTIC ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC veg planner - I'd stumbled across it last october - you input your postcode and it adjusts all the sowing/planting times for your area according to frosts etc. Amazing.........

LOst it, couldn't find it. Just read your post - and thought I'd give it ONE LAST TRY...googled 'veg planner'...and it came up top of the pile - do not believe it...

so, if any use to you...here it is...

Beware - the frost dates are wildly optimistic so the plans it comes up with could easily end in tears.

For anyone interested it's here

Looks accurate, simple to use, and no misleading frost dates.
