A couple of things that spring to mind are:-
No more sowing tomatoes too early. I will just have to twiddle my fingers and wait until a sensible time when I can grow them on as strong plants not 'Drawn' plants that have been on the windowsill too long. They have come good in the end but are really late in catching up!
Some things I have found are better sown direct and others module sown. For me, I will sow French beans in modules as the direct sown ones were' hit and miss'. Calabrese was just the opposite, the year before the direct sown plants did really well whereas the module sown F1 plants were rubbish this year. Back to direct sowing next year.
I know I said a couple but another has just sprung to mind! My vegetatively produced leek plants overwintered in the greenhouse all went to seed. The previous year they were fine so it really depends how hard a winter we have? I haven't got growlights or a heated greenhouse so maybe I will just try again this year and see what happens. I usually pot up the leek 'grass' in October so will bring the leek head into the greenhouse soon.
