What should I plan for when growing in Channel Islands?
The direct answer
A mild island baseline with earlier opportunities than most UK regions, balanced by sea wind, dry spells, and exposed coastal gardens. Use late April as a cautious anchor, checking local exposure before moving tender crops outside.
The trade-off to keep visible
A regional baseline is useful for planning, but it cannot see your garden's shelter, elevation, drainage, soil temperature or the next cold night. Use wind shelter, mulch, and steady watering; do not let the mild climate hide exposed-site stress.
Next practical action
Open the planner with Channel Islands selected, add your garden conditions, then choose the current month.
