    Early spring in the UK, usually around Easter time.

    JULY 2014 .... http://www.farmersalmanac.com/calendar/gardening/


     


    1st-3rd A barren period. Do general farm work.
    4th-6th Good for planting peas, beans, tomatoes, and other fall crops bearing aboveground. Sow grains and forage crops now. Plant flowers.
    7th-8th Extra good days for cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, mustard greens, and other leafy vegetables. Good for any aboveground crop that can be planted now. Start seedbeds.
    9th-10th Seeds planted now will do poorly and yield little.
    11th-12th Favorable planting days: First day good for planting aboveground crops. Last day good for planting beets, carrots, salsify, Irish potatoes, and other root crops.
    13th-14th Poor days for planting.
    15th-16th Good days for planting beets, carrots, radishes, salsify, turnips, peanuts, and other root crops. Also good for planting melons, cucumbers, pumpkins, and other vine crops. Set strawberry plants. Good days for transplanting.
    17th-18th A barren period. Second day good for killing plant pests.
    19th-21st Root crops that can be planted now will yield well. Good days for transplanting.
    22nd-23rd Poor days for planting, seeds tend to rot in the ground. Best days for killing plant pests and weeds.
    24th-26th Favorable planting days: First two days most fruitful for root crops and transplanting. Last day good for corn, cotton, okra, beans, peppers, eggplant, and aboveground crops. All days good for planting seedbeds and flower gardens.
    27th-31st A most barren period. Kill plant pests and do general farm work.

    That was interesting and educational. The weather report last winter in the Farmers Almanac was accurate.

    before the first frost. Also, planting during full moon works out well.
