Cucumber Miniature White - I sowed a couple weeks ago, but they are looking dire so did more. 
Sunflower Valentine - tall, with pale yellow/cream flowers which didn't require any staking last year, even in my blustery seaside garden. A miracle!
Nasturtiums direct sown outside. 
Throughout the week I've been potting up chitted Gigantes beans.

Today was a day for planting flowers. I’m not one for this usually but I have dedicated an area of the garden for wildflowers etc. And last year planted some wall flowers and a mixture of other seeds I had.
This year I started some seeds of cornflower blue, gypsophila, forget me nots, and I transplanted them out in the wild area, hopefully get a few flowers there.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

I don’t know if you call it sowing but I transplanted 12 tomato plants from pots into raised beds. I have to do my chilli plants hopefully tomorrow

Sowed some more courgettes (Zucchini) and some very old Verde di Italia & Striato d'Italia. I'm starting to panic, having only 5 courgette plants. Worried that I won't have enough courgettes to see me through the summer.
Also sowed some Winter Squash - Cha Cha - a new one for me.

Carrots direct and then modules of turnips and peas. The direct sown Lincoln peas have been really poor while the rows of mangetout beside them are germinating well so I doubt it's rodents.
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?

I’m exactly the same Veggie.
Sowed more than I thought that I would need  (I can always pass them on) but have not even enough for me!
Now playing catch up - put in two of each Butterstick, Orelia and Golden Griller. Hoping that these will do something. 
otherwise I’m going to have to buy some plants (Sacrilege!!!)

More carrots under the mesh (Autumn King 3); more climbing French beans (Cobra), I think I put the first lot out too soon, they look very sorry for themselves.
