Notes

Neighbour was getting rid of his so gave me permission to raid it for cuttings before it goes. I soaked the tips in rainwater, added some rooting compound and popped them in the ground, so we'll see what takes.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
