      Thanks for reminding me about dill. Will put a first small row in the raised bed by the onions. Also sown more zinnias as only 3/8 germinated. After 4 days in the house my African marigolds are showing but not the cucumbers (jogger). Looked at the packet and it is sow by 2021. They were viable last year so will pop them in the airing cupboard for a few days and w&s.

        Paranoia's properly starting to set in that I went too early on my Cucumber Mini Munch & CFB Blue Lake, I think I'll put a 2nd batch of seed to chit today.

        I'm fairly confident with the plants I already have but know I can find homes for spare plants. I might even have done myself a favour with a successional sowing (something I often say I'll do but not get around to).

          Sowed a small number of the Gigantes beans that arrived today. Trying not to drown or chill these ones.

                  Sowed Calabrese and summer savory. Then it started to rain. Summer purple sprouting, parsley and Pak choi will therefore have to wait until tomorrow.

                    I'd thrown a load of yellow beans in to Chit thinking the odd one would germinate maybe. Haven't they all germinated
