I'm off on holiday for 3 weeks, last week of Feb, first 2 in March.
I usually grow bizzie lizzies, osteospermum, snapdragons, cosmos, tomatoes, courgettes, carrots, sweetcorn, peppers ( and probably a few more, got brainfreeze) from seed. Anything in there that might be a problem from a later start, as I won't be able to get to grips with the garden straight away on my return anyway.
Cheers.
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I can't see there being a problem with any of the veggies. I wouldn't imagine there would be too much of a problem with any of the other plants either, but don't know enough about flowers to give a difinitive piece of advice about them, sorry.

    Hope you have a great holiday!

    Depends on how cold it gets. You may actually do better by starting them later.

    A few plot holders had poor crops of potatoes, We had the leftover ones and planted them several weeks after they should have all been in. They cropped well.

    Some planted them early and the frosts killed a lot off.
