To quote March 3rd last year, it has been warmer, and I sowed a batch of chilli, towel-tomato and Roma tomato seeds.
Although stupidly I deliberately elected to sow the 'bad' towel-tomato seeds, being the ones that I managed to glean early on in the season from the few fruits that had seeds in, rather than the known 'good' ones that came from later fruit bursting with seed, on the grounds that I didn't want to risk my best seed on a too-early sowing. But of course if these do germinate than I shall end up with adult plants from possibly-defective genetic stock (although to be honest all the plants behaved the same way, and they are probably seeds from the very same stock, just picked later in the year).
I also planted out some more of the mixed salad/lettuce seed from last year, as it was pretty successful. I don't know how well it will have lasted, so I sowed it quite thickly.
