Just one row of Spring onions, and one of Radishes... Is it too early???

Not for them two, really, but don't underestimate the winds though, a bit of protection would make a world of difference.

By the by it seems to stay miserable for a long while, hope they are wrong.

Thanks Gobs. We're very lucky as the garden is sheltered From Winds.

I know, the weather forecast isn't fantastic., but I just never believe them beyond 48 hours anyway!!

Shallots, radishes, parsnips can all go in. I've got a few trays of lettuces and cabbage in my plastic greenhouses and cold frame, and I've bunged in some onion sets.
That is in costa del Walthamstow

Sounds good. Just have some fleece at the ready if there's a frost forecast.

Please do make sure it is well protected during a frost otherwise you'll find the leaves get easily damaged and look like they have some dire disease when they are fully developed!

And most importantly: no fruit.
