I have been having a discussion with other allotment holders,
I have been pressing on and sowing seeds but others have
told me that it is too early as we could get more frost more snow
and it's generally too cold.
My argument is when plants grow naturally they will drop there
seeds in the Autumn and they will lay on/in the ground all Winter
without coming to any harm and start to grow in the Spring.
So, does it really matter if I plant seeds and a bit of frost gets to them
?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

We mostly plant in modules and won't plant the main lot of our seeds for
some weeks yet to plant out end of May after all chance of frost has passed
(don't talk about the frost on the 9th June a few years back!). Exceptions
are Chillies which will be planted shortly to get the plants up and big
enough to flower quicker and then a bit later some Toms for planting out
also.
Out on the allotment there is no point in planting Parsnips, for example, as
they won't germinate in cold soil so better to wait until the soil warms up.
Ours is also much too wet to do anything with, not even planted our early
spuds yet.
