Or, if you don't mind wasting seed, you could sow a new lot in pots under cover, use them to fill in gaps where you need to.

For what it's worth, I have only just sown mine. It was far too cold in Feb, and when I got back from holiday in March, there was 6inches of snow over the garden - despite two days of sun, the last snow didn't melt till late yesterday.
Thank you for your comments, I thought at the time I sowed too early.
