    Got lots on the go now and I'm sure I'll be outta space for them all.
    It's probably too early to hope for no more frosts..

    I've got the 2nd  lot sown in the last few days

    then they go in here along with the first lot - as well as all the pricking out that's ready to do image

    Goodness !!

    A gardening pro AND an Excel afficianado.

    hats off to you Pete - wish I could be anywhere near so organised!

  • FarendwomanFarendwoman Posts: 148

    I am now resolved to start keeping accurate records. 

    you have definitely encouraged me to get myself organised. 

    Thanks Pete - and congrats on all your healthy seedlings.

    a very few tiny frail looking red campion and campanula persicifolia just showing, and I really think I saw a tiny spot of green in one of the pots of white delphiniums I've put outside in the 'greenhouse' WOOHOO!!

    Too kind flowerlady, and thanks for your good wishes
    I've used excel since it was 'invented' and the bank I used to work for done a lot of the beta testing for excel then word - back in the 80's when Lotus 1-2-3 ruled. 
    But I've been gardening for about 50yrs, so lots of experience, but def not a pro. But now, when I know I'm not doing something as it should be done, at least I know image

    And as for organized - have you seen my shed!!?? :)

    Best of luck to you and all us gardeners caring for our babies at this unpredictable time of year
