I have some seeds for things like Cauli, Cabbage and Leeks that show an end sowing date of May. Would I be okay to sow direct now/next week or so or should I just hang on to those seeds and look for something else to put in a bit later instead. (I'm iin the south west near the coast if that makes any difference).
Made a bit of a half hearted start and the gardening bug has kicked in so I want to make the best use of the garden that I can before I get a plot and put the majority of the garden back to grass.

if it was me, esre, I'd have a go, all you've got to lose is a few seeds ;D
Hi,I planted some cauli and cabbage seeds today cos my 1st lot have been eaten by pigeons,So yes go for it,im in the south /southwest to
I would have a go, i am in the north east and have been advised we should always be a few weeks behind packet dates anyway. I'm only in my third year but have managed ok adding a few weeks to recommended dates

I sowed some swede at the end of August last year and got some very nice roots overwinter!
::)
Cheers guys, I will put some in and see what happens :)
Nice one esre, you've answered a question for me too! ;)
We're so behind with virtually everything this year (well, it is our first year!) and I was hoping to try a few things that the packets reckon we've missed. We're in Lincs so I'm guessing we can afford another 3 - 4 weeks on the end of the sowing periods stated.
Happy sowing! ;D
