Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Dudley East. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
German chamomile is a feathery annual grown for its apple-scented daisy flowers, used fresh or dried for tea. Sow in autumn or early spring; seed needs light, so press it on the surface without covering. Pick flowers as they fully open, every few days.
