Accept that you must destroy some of the seedlings. Remember that some colours germinate later than others. The late developers aren't always the weedy ones - but often they are. Sometimes they're the best colours . It's the luck of the draw.
They're easy enough spot and weed out. They're also handy, free gap fillers - especially the dwarf varieties I'd say forget me nots are more of a problem. The clue is in the name. Pulmonaria, VB and euphorbia can be a bit eager too
You know when you buy bedding plants at the garden centre, you're probably perfectly happy with one or two trays of six. Why sow so many seeds that you end up with more than you can handle ?
Don't sow your seeds in forbidden conditions so that you've got it done but they won't come up for ages. My tomato seeds were put in a cold and inhospitable porch and they've come up in a week.😐 Other supposedly temperature sensitive things are sprouting as well ..😐
Today I sowed 4 each of 6 varieties of chilli on my new heat mat. We'll see.
Other than that 2 DON'Ts. Don't accept OH's offer to peel potatoes for dinner without first hiding the tomato peeler. I have never used the red (clue) handled tomato peeler yet but I do want it sharp if and when I do. I've only explained that about a dozen times in the last year.
As it was too flipping cold to play outside this morning (getting soft in my dotage) I decided to play with some patchwork sampler blocks I started for a class last year, just as lockdown came in. Do not leave patchwork for a year without notes. Can I work out what goes where? Yes, in one block but not as a whole wall hanging.

I've never heard of a tomato peeler. Is it a French thing?🤔 Think of it as a jigsaw or a cryptic crossword or even Tate Modern worthy of you can't work it out

Don’t plant nasturtiums anywhere you don’t want to see them pop up for evermore!
