The weather has not helped - balmy summer temperatures in March and now April seems to have reverted to winter  :(   I held off the temptation to sow early this year and the downturn of temperatures seems to have been a good call.  The only thing I've decided to go against my better judgement and have planted all my potatoes - Easter is the only time I have some time off work and can seriously get on with jobs on the plot and once they are planted I can get on with the other tasks.  Just wish the "April" showers would wait until evening though :lol:

I've got a seed sowing plan, but then I do every year and usually lose the plot early on and end up sowing things in a panic  :lol:  I concentrate on the veg I really need to get going at paticular times e.g. peppers and chillies need a long growing season, so they are always the first sowing indoors.

Having spares in the polytunnel for replanting is a good stategy and I usually have  a few back up beans or sweetcorns when the first lot go out.  If I have space in the greenhouse or coldframe, I quite often sow a few modules of beetroot, lettuce or other successional stuff.  If ground comes clear, I bung them in and if not and I end up slinging a few seedlings in the compost bin, I don't stress about it  :)
