I've decided to try a different approach to sowing seed this year.
I'm going to pack up a range of seeds to sow each week, so every Sunday all we have to do is to sprinkle the contents onto a half seed tray and water in.
Then prick out, grow on and plant in their own bed at the allotment.
If they look like they are going to climb - we'll pop a cane in to let them.
Mark has agreed to put them all in his bed at the plot.
So I have printed out one seed pack per week from Jan 1st to 8 Oct 2013.
Later today I will go through my seed stash and put pinches of appropriate seeds into each week's packet.
Update
I've been through my non-tomatoes, non-peppers, non-HSL or seed saving, and non-needs to be sown in situ stash - and have hand picked seeds for each week between 18th December 2012 and 8th October 2013.
Some, like a huge bag of mixed lettuce, I've put in a pinch every single week.
The others, I've looked at the months they can be sown, and either sown at the start of the season, or split down into 2 or more sowings.
I've noted them all down in my book so I can reference them if needs be.
Let the sowing commence...in 9 days time.
