Hi Chris
thanks for the Dutch website link, I found it very useful. I got some great translations 'Not everryone in the fingers' + 'go weeding the weeds ' being my favs .
When you first posted this topic back in April my seed packet was still un opened on my desk.
Now mine have germinated in the cold frame and I will be potting them on soon.
Not proclaiming to be an expert gardener , but we have been growing veg for a number of years .
No two years are the same in the garden ,this year in Suffolk I would estimate that things are about 4 to 6 weeks behind the expected norm .
Growing things is in my experience , very like modelling, in that you learn by your mistakes.
Better luck with your second sowing.
Martin
