You need to use dates as xlim values. They will vary from year to year
(January 2010 is a different date than January 2011), but it's
reasonably easy to compute the limits you want when you subset the
dates. For example
x <- as.Date(paste("1/",1:6,"/11", sep=""),
"%d/%m/%y")
jan <- x[1]
dec <- as.Date("1/12/11", "%d/%m/%y")
plot(x, 1:6, xlim=c(jan, dec))
