Having made the same mistake in previous years, I have now slipped up again and I think I have sown some veg seed far too early.
I got myself a bit over eager, and popped in three types of French Beans and two lots of Mangetout in pots inside, and today, less than a couple of weeks on, they are outgrowing the pots and raring for a lot more space.
Reading from the instructions, I should have realised my mistake and waited - especially as I live just north of Leeds - but other than simply letting them go, I don�t think I have any option but to plant them out.
All is far from lost as I have plenty of remaining seeds to sow (at the right time!), but I just wanted to �fess up about this blunder, and ask if anyone else has made a similar mistake.
Looking at the local temperatures for the next two weeks, there�s nothing to suggest that we�ll go anywhere back near zero, but I�m just hoping they�ll forgive me if I plant them out in the next few days.
I�ve attached a few photos with this post to let you see where they�re currently at...
PS...I think VeggieChicken�s response will be �Just bung �em in!�...
