I tend to plant direct in April most of the time, but sticking a few in small pots a little earlier is nice and easy, although they don't mature any quicker here because of the weather.
It works well for me Dove - I know they like their roots deep, but I usually get them planted out as soon as the roots are coming through the bottom, because they're not sown too early.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Oberlix , always use loo rolls for deep rooted seeds e.g. Runner beans ect
Punkdoc , I like the occasional G & T , in fact had one before dinner tonight , however , o/h bought me Fever Tree tonic and have to say found it really good , would definitely recommend them , there are a couple of different flavours , personally line all of them

I'm thinking of going for 3 in a pot for the sweet peas this year Fairy - I think they'll do much better with no chance of root disturbance.
I may well do the same with the Morning Glories.

I grow them in 9cm pots, I'm greedy and stick 5 in a pot , them plant the whole thing.

Can't find deep enough pots here and no root trainers so loo rolls and goblets it is.
Evening all.
Managed a few hours studying today, still finding it hard to concentrate, and I now know why I didn't do maths A-level!
Also managed to go to GC and buy some seed compost and Vermiculite, so I will be ready to start later this month.
Now sitting with a G@T listening to OH sniffle.

Was pleasantly surprised to find BA serve Fevertree with a gin. I love it
