    if you are directly planting the seeds outside, wait until all danger of frost has passed. I'm not familiar with the planting zones in the UK, but I bet there's something similar to our USDA hardiness zones over there that will tell you when there is no danger of frost at night anymore.

    What Oz said. But you could plant them around mid April if you start them off in a greenhouse or tunnel. Thats what I do.

    And don't leave them exposed to wind, and its no harm to stake em sometimes either.

    They don't fancy being transplanted much so if you start them early a good idea is peat pots...you can plant the whole pot when its time.

    I also save toilet paper rolls and put them upright in a small box fill them with dirt and start some corn seed early as corn does not like to be transplanted either.
    Then I plant the whole tube when its time...give me some early stalks.
