Always label your seeds
If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

When all else fails, read the back of the packet as well as looking at the pretty picture on the front.

Blimey DD thats a bit radical  :D :D.

Can I add a caveat

But don't always believe the sowing guide start time shown.

I didn't say take any notice of it!

In most cases - add a month to the earliest date.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Once a season grow something you think you don't like, fresh from the plot you may change your mind.
Wife said she didn't like broad beans, she does now.

Try something different each year.
Thats how I found Swiss Chard and its in every year now, but I would never grow asparagus pea's again.
