The main concern at this time of yearhas to be potatoes. Everyone has their own ideas about the best time to plant them, but most people would agree that in Brittany all of your crop should be in the ground by the middle of April.
If you have planted early, and the shoots are already above ground, and frost is forecast, then it really is worth trying to protect the plants. This involves covering them with something – it could be a blanket of horticultural fleece, a plastic sheet, newspaper, straw, or, if time allows, earth.
Even if time does not allow on a frosty evening, the potatoes should be earthed up at least once over the course of May.
