Shall we share our seed-sowing success (or failures!)?

success
Every tomato in 2 packets. Don't know what I am going to do with them all.
spring onions
red onions
potatoes
1 out of 9 peas
0 out of 15 beans
2 carrots
lots of lettuce
Lots of something that has lost the label
lots of garlic
1 broccoli

I am going to plant some more beans and peas. I think I planted them out in the garden too early.

Last years disasters - planted some spinach that looked promising then suddenly reached for the sky and went to seed
Carrots (first attempt) in a tub..........short dumpy carrots so we thought they'd be small but not as small as my finger nail !!
Not to be outdone, we're having another go this year............lol

I think my carrots are in too shallow a tub too Mary but I can't move them now. My onions are half an inch of green and my tomatoes (inside) are a foot high with the first flower on. Potatoes just went in today .

Can I join in too please

Sucsess, so far.

Tomato's (gardeners delight) x3, was 4 but gave one away.
Tomato's different to GD but can't remember what now x4
Leeks, loads
Peas, need more though
Potato's are going great atm

A few more bits but I can't remember what

Last w/e we planted part of our raised bed with some carrots, lettuce, beetroot but nothing has come up yet. Maybe I was unlucky with the timing? The weather has been pants since :eek: Maybe the seeds washed away with all the rain? Or maybe I'm just being impatient :rotfl:

One faliure I've had so far was Mint!! I might try it again in better compost and see what happens. Anyone got any idea how long it should take to show?

Since I started this post, my update is.....
everything's going pretty well EXCEPT my courgette plant which is now in the veg bed has turned fairly yellow.... is this a possible failure.....?
