Not a lot! Onions, garlic, walking onions, shallots, spuds and nothing else apart from obvious perennials like fruit and rhubarb. I'll probably be planting like mad next week when I've got some time off during the mock exams.

Ok. I think I am going to have to start panicing soon.
Have not even got in half of the plants that some have.........
And my seed tin is still very full...
Have got to get some more digging done on plot before I can even start to think of putting anymore in.
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... Got to go and get some work done!

No need to rush. I'm very wary of planting outside before April; I've had too many failures in the past. I forgot to mention broad beans, another obvious early one, but they're as tough as nails.
