It was warm enough by the second week of march thanks to the mild winter I suppose (8.5c recorded 4 inches down), I put them in on the 23rd. We could potentially get frosts into may and I just mulch the shoots and cover with cardboard and cloche if frost threatens, which it did this year end of April. Last year we had a -3c that killed the shoots end of April as I couldn't get out to cover them. It did put them back a few weeks
