*The right time to sow vegetable seeds varies according to the
weather experienced in the spring. A cold spring will mean the ideal
time is later than if it was a warm spring.
*The soil takes time to warm up, to reach the right temperature for
seeds to germinate.
*Weeds are a good indicator. If it is warm enough for weed seeds to
grow, it will be warm enough for some vegetable seeds to be planted.
*Look out for the first seed leaves of weeds (they are called cotyledons).

*As soon as the weeds appear, hoe them out.
*Read the back of the seed packet to see the recommended time period
for planting.
*Listen to the weather forecast & cover the seeds & seedlings when frost
is expected.
