Sorting the seeds...

Buying new vegetable seeds is a bit of a habit but one that I try and curb. However, it does mean that when it comes to choosing what I could plant in the garden this year I had plenty to choose from...

Before I choose I always check for the best before date on the back of the seed packet as I am always given ageing seeds by family members so try and plant the ones that will go out of date by the end of the year.

Once this is done I divide the packets into a few categories:
- Outside vegetable patch and can be sown outside
- Outside vegetable patch but to be sown indoors
- Sown indoors and grow indoors
- Slugs favourite so to be planted in troughs!

The latter division is so I can try and be a slug-free zone this year as I hope to grow lettuce outside... Fingers crossed!

So ... The seeds are sorted ... Now to the planting!
