Yes, I have sown sweet peas - they're in the GH - and I've nipped the tops off them. Not sure where they'll be planted yet.

Day 1 completed. Carrots and radishes sown in the GH and old carrot and radish seeds scattered in last year's courgette bed. If any germinate it'll be a bonus.
Picked some carrots and radish in GH2 for my evening meal.
Did a bit of clearance in Strip 1.
Tomorrow I'll be sowing Spring onions and harvesting leeks and Three cornered leeks to eat with a bit more work on Strip 1.

Shoots Day - sowed Spring Onions and shallots in modules and scattered old spring onion seeds in the random onion bed.
Potted some Babington leek bulbils.
Harvested 2 leeks and replanted their bases and roots.
Pulled up a couple of clumps of Three cornered leeks.
Leeks of both sorts to form part of tonight's meal.
Tomorrow is Fruits day. I'll be sowing Peas, potting up some tomato seedlings and finding some fruit in the freezer to eat!

Yesterday, Fruits Day, I failed to sow Bijou Mangetout because it was so cold but I sowed some today on Leaves Day. Also sowed Rocket outdoors and Crisp Mixed lettuce in GH1.
Picked rocket, lettuce and Chinese leaves.
Tomorrow, Friday is for Flowers and herbs beginning with ABCDEF. Not sure what these will be yet - I have a small pot of Crocus in the kitchen that could be planted, lots of Daffodil bulbs going soft, Agastache seeds, Calendula. As for picking, maybe some Daffs and Forsythia for a vase.

Beetroot & Radish sown today. A small beetroot picked from GH2 and eaten this evening.
Tomorrow I plan to sow leeks in a pot in the GH and, weather permitting, plant onion sets outdoors. Forecast not good.
All the Elephant garlic has been planted but I'll weed them.
Also have perennial leeks that could be planted out.
Will pick some Three cornered leeks tomorrow to eat in some madeup recipe.

M. Carrots & Radish
T. Onions, Shallots, Spring Onions, Chives
W. Peas
T. Lettuce, Rocket and CACA

I'm hoping to see signs of germination of the seeds I sowed 4 weeks ago.
To remind myself - this is what I did 4 weeks ago:-
Day 1 completed. Carrots and radishes sown in the GH and old carrot and radish seeds scattered in last year's courgette bed. If any germinate it'll be a bonus.
Picked some carrots and radish in GH2 for my evening meal.
Did a bit of clearance in Strip 1.

Sowed Carrots and Radish in the BIG bed.
Carrots and radish sown 4 weeks ago in the GH have germinated.
Found a Radish in the BIG bed so I ate it.
Weather permitting I'll be planting onion sets tomorrow and pulling up some Three cornered leeks to eat.
