Seed potatoes don't get started off in compost, you just put them in egg boxes or other low boxes (to keep them upright) to start chitting.  This means starting off the sprouting process.  Good light and relatively cool (but frost-free) conditions are needed.

Then plant them out anytime from a couple of weeks from now.

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Leeks!

Still too early for most other veg unless you intend to grow them indoors (eg chillies); not having a greenhouse or cold frame limits your options but in another month or so you will have many more.  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older


question
Runner bean seed directly in ground and plant root/seed attacks
