Job list sanity check

Its that time again 

I know (when I have my sensible head on) that its all fine.  The spuds are chitting, the onions, leeks, early greens and long season crops like aubergines and peppers are growing away.  The plot needs digging, but it was too wet earlier and I would have done more harm than good.

So why am I dithering today about where to start     It will all get done in the end and if bits and pieces are not so perfect, well that's just too bad 

Looking at my diaries, I'm not as forward as some years, but not as behind as others 

All in all - nothing to worry about 

I rely on my spreadsheet notes to remind me when I have sown seeds in the past few years.

Early spring and spring weather has been a bit unpredictable for the past few years so it's a bit of a lottery as to whether it's too late or too early for any given crop.

(The frogs in my pond are certainly feeling spring-like  , and the slugs and snails appear to have experienced a comfortable winter given the numbers trying to wipe out my emerging delphiniums, alstroemerias, and Heleniums. )

I have a notebook in which hopes and aspirations are recorded, as well as outcomes, and so far things seem more or less on track. It does change as the season goes on, but that's life.

Always nice to look back on too, and like Victoria Park said, it does help me keep life in perspective when a few things haven't quite gone right

I planted my onion sets about a week ago but thats all i have going at the moment.
Also planned to sow my toms, peppers and chilies the weekend just gone but never got round to it.
I can feel im slowly getting further and further behind, i need to sow my tomatos, chillies, peppers, lettuce, calabrese, peas but hey, if they don't get done this week they'll just be a week or so behind!

I must start to keep a planting diary so i know how far behind i am again!
