What should I plan for when growing in Ireland - east and midlands?
The direct answer
A relatively drier Irish baseline for east and midland gardens, with good succession potential but local frost pockets inland. Use mid-May as a cautious anchor, earlier only in sheltered coastal gardens with settled nights.
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. Water seed rows in dry spells, protect tender crops until nights settle, and use fleece for early sowings.
Next practical action
Open the planner with Ireland - east and midlands selected, add your garden conditions, then choose the current month.
