oh lord, not even that far! HAve thrown a few onion seeds in pots, wanted to try some from seed this year. But that's it. Next week I will start peppers and aubergines and leeks. Then I usually do tomatoes later in february so they are about 8 weeks old when I plant them out.

Yesterday I sowed broad beans in pots, celeriac, leeks, cauli, sprouts, celery in trays. 3 kinds of peppers, cucumber, aubergine, 2 varieties of tomatoes, in pots. In half trays I sowed, 3 varieties of asters and trailing petunias. In cells I sowed 3 varieties of lobelia plus mesembryanthemums. 4 varieties of sweetpeas were sown in peat pots in november and are doing nicely. ;D
