My second year of veg growing and like most of you am very keen to start getting things in the ground. I live in the South Midlands and read somewhere some more freezing weather is on the way which may kill anything off I plant in mid March.

Has anyone else heard/read this?

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums.
I haven't heard that but even in sunny Essex    you can't be sure of being frost free until June.

I haven't heard anything but it wouldn't surprise me.  I got out my spuds to chit at the weekend and my other half says "are those about to go in?" .  One warm weekend does not equal spring!

I live just north of Bristol and I don't start anything off outside until late March at the earliest.  Inside... well thats a different matter.

Ive heard next week will bring a return to the colder weather - not the snowy conditions but definately a reduction in temperature

Source Met office "UK Outlook for Monday 2 Mar 2009 to Wednesday 11 Mar 2009:
An unsettled spell of weather is expected for most of this period across much of the United Kingdom. Rain or showers will affect all parts at times, with snow over hills, especially in the north, and potentially even to lower levels for a time later in the first week of this period. The rain most persistent across southeastern England during the first Monday of the period, with wintry showers for northwestern parts. However, from Tuesday, the wettest and windiest conditions will shift to northern and western parts of the United Kingdom with southeastern areas seeing the best of any drier, brighter spells. Temperatures starting the period near normal but soon becoming rather cold with overnight frost. Southern areas possibly becoming drier with nearer normal temperatures later in the outlook period.
