What should I plan for when growing in Inland Wales?

The direct answer

Cooler, more variable, and often exposed. Hardy vegetables, protected starts, and delayed tender planting are the safer baseline. Use late May as the planning anchor; upland and valley gardens may need early June caution.

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. Add shelter, use fleece, and favour hardy roots, brassicas, leaves, and resilient flowers over heat-demanding crops.

Next practical action

Open the planner with Inland Wales selected, add your garden conditions, then choose the current month.
