Am I the only person that pots up all the seedlings and gives them a chance although I only need a few. Put 2 seedlings in a pot that are small and both grow like weeds.
Am just wondering if I am mad.

No! Neither have Iit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

I can't bin baby plants, I will fit them in wherever there's space and give away the rest. My sister does rather well from this arrangement to the extent that she doesn't bother raising plants other than sowing a few runner beans.Comment

Actually, I'm pretty good at being strict on tomatoes. But then the locals give me a load and I feel obliged to plant them.Originally posted by Scarlet View PostMe too....I'm only going to do 60 tomato plants this year. I'll sow double that and try to bin the rest

My method is to prevent waste by planning, so if I want 4 cabbages I sow 4 or maybe 5 seeds, not half a packet. This is much easier if you start the seeds in pots or modules than if you sow in rows or seed trays. Once the plants are growing I agree it is very hard not to keep them.A life is like a garden.

What I dont need or cant give away get a free trip to the compost binComment

I always grow more than I need. But they are very rarely wasted. The spare is either sold, swapped or used as a micro crop depending on what it is.
So I probably fall into the nutters category
