Sharing mistakes and triumphs growing veg

I always sow too much in case they don't germinate, then if I get too many plants, I try to sell them outside the front gate, and if they don't go, I give them way on Freecycle!!

My biggest mistake, is listening to OH who thinks he knows everything, then regretting it when things go wrong!!!  Last year I sowed seeds in the long thingy's where you get 5 per seed tray.  Brian comes along and says why don't you plant a whole tray at a time, instead of faffing about with little bits?  Fine I said as long as you dig the rest of the lawn up to take the extra veggies!!!!! lol

Or the other one is not digging my veg garden over during the winter, because it's either too wet, too cold or too windy, or I'm just not in the mood, then spring comes along and I have to rush to get it done before my seedlings give up on me!!!
