Am I the only one who hasn't sown a single seed yet this year?

 :o

Boy, do I have some catching up to do.

how are you able to restrain yourself, i promised myself that i would not sow my heat loving plants to early this year and have broken that promise already at least five times :-\

To test the ground broken into a fine tilth by my recently purchased Mantis, I have directly sown a few of the following to test direct sowing instead of sowing in pots all the time:

Early Nante carrots
Crimson Forrest red spring onions
Scarlet Globe radish
Boltardy beetroot
Paris Silverskin onion

In pots:  Parsley, Thyne, Basil

I have also sown 8 varieties of flowers and transplanted Arcadia and Parthenon broccoli to their final position.

I wasn't going to sow any seed indoors this year, but try getting as much of the plot dug as possible & just do lots of direct sowing over the next couple of months. However, OH is tucked up under the duvet feeling rubbish so I could resist seed sowing no longer. Today I sowed the following in pots:

Pepper `heatwave'
Squash `Avalon'
Tomato `Suncherry' and `Garden Pearl'
Cucumber `Telegraph Improved'
Courgette
lemongrass (optimistic I think as no heat?!)
err... & one other thing that escapes me

 ;D
