They say early overwatering is the biggest menace :-) Meanwhile my
'coldframe' needs to be mouse-proofed, it's an old concrete 'Conqueror'

works OK.
I think one underestimates the rate at which a healthy spring sown
seedling
progresses. A mile a minute it seems, faster by far than an Autumn sown
struggler.
I haven't given up on spring sown, in fact I've just ordered some
more, plus
a pkt of icicle radishes. Neighbouring allotment recommends Sea Kay,
so I'll
give them a try. 50,000 positive feedback, can't be bad, although
their site
is a bit tiresome to navigate

OT but whilst on the subject of Ebay, I'd try these :-

The fact you get 500 seeds for £1 grabbed my attention. I grow
chillies in
the g/h, in the space alongside toms and cucumbers.
Whilst you're about it on Ebay, you might like to try these, as the
seller forgot to say they taste of the finest steak:

Or these, which no doubt taste of cavia

That's the problem with Ebay - you really don't know what you will be
getting.
