Suzy,

Hi, hope you enjoying your new allotment, 2 tips to help with the seeds.

fill a pop bottle with dry sand and make a hole in the lid. When you have sown the row of seeds simply run a line of sand over the top of the soil to show you where they are. Or use a line of string between two sticks, one at each end of the row.

If the weeds come up in the line just leave them till you can tell the difference. If you can find a similar looking sedling not on the line where you are sure non of your seeds were planted its probably safe to say that it is a weed.
