I hope not, or I've missed the boat - as well as courgettes.

Both not until the middle of next month for me.

Thats a relief - got too much else to do at the moment and not even begun to dig the area for my sweetcorn. It still has about 20 leeks in it that I need to lift and freeze before they go to seed.

I sowed mine the first week in January in a propagator.  I have potted them on twice now in 8 inch pots and in the unheated greenhouse.  Will bring them in if the weekend frost looks likely

The goal of life is not to arrive at the graveyard in a well preserved body, but instead to skid in sideways, totally worn out yelling "What a ride!".

I'll sow mine in a week or so. Last year they got quite big before I could put them outside, and they were a nuisance in the house so I'm planting them a couple of weeks later.

I have sown 3 chocolate tomato seed which have just appeared but am waiting another week or so (at least) before i sort out the others.. Mine will all be moved outside or onto the allotment so im sure there is no rush yet!

May chuck a few seeds into pots over the weekend but only because you lot are making me feel behind!!  :tongue2:
