Well red, blue or whatever colour, I've hardly sown, planted or plonked a thing so far.  The sweet peppers are up and going to be potted on soon.  The tomato and cuke seeds are still firmly in their packets and the spuds, they are a chitting, but they won't be seeing the soil for a while yet.

I was digging the plot last weekend and the soil is cold and wet.  No rush this year 

Thanks for posting that. I've been reading everyone's diaries and some threads and have been fighting a rising panic that I haven't started anything.

I haven't put anything outside yet, it's all on the windowsills, 'resting'. Too cold to put them out there.

You have to be careful with the blogs - quite a few members are heating their greenhouses, so that they are at least  frost-free 

Mine is cold and apart from some hardy stuff like cabbages, lettuce and leeks it is empty.- ooh, and I forgot, a few peas

Indoors on the windowledge, I have a few peppers, chillis and 2 tomato seedlings which I hope to nurse through til they are big enough to go in the greenhouse during the day 

Another couple of weeks until the rest of my greenhouse toms get sown.

I do them when it's warm as cue seeds rot if it's too cold.
Akito- I grew this last year and it was epic, we had loads and loads from one plant.  I grew it into to germinate, cold greenhouse to grow on and then out on the plot May/June into manure pile/rich soil.  It was a really sheltered semi shaded place and it went mad.  Only problem is the skin was a bit tough so they need peeling.

I'm tempted but holding on for a while with Cuces and other cucur type stuff. I have found that starting them off in a warm propergator or warm room will give rapid germination (within a few days) then if the weather turns sunny, they grow like wildfire. Then the problem is they are quickly big enough to plant out but too early. So another couple of weeks, even a month should give the timing about right. They rapidly catch up out of danger of frost.

I too am tempted. But I haven't succumbed for the reasons you give. It will be nearer a month before I sow cucumbers.
