Default Grumble, grumble, weather, planting seeds?

Most seeds seem to have a minimum temperature for planting, and a period
(month or so) for planting.

In the East of England recent temperatures have been down to 4C during the
day which is well below the minimum temperature on the packets.

I've got some seeds germinating/germinated which came up rapidly in the
warm weather but seem to have slowed down almost to a stop.

I have some courgette seeds to plant, but I can't decide if it is worth
planting them until the weather picks up.

Once the weather warms up I am sure things will catch up, but this isn't
the best start to the year that I can remember.

Cheers
