\nSow chillies now but otherwise it\u2019s time to do some plotting and planningThank God January is almost over: it is never an easy month and is made worse by the desperate need to do something, anything, in the garden combined with the ability to do very little. Now (and truthfully spoken, February, too) is not the month to start sowing. The light levels are still too low, the day length too short, the weather too dismal.

Take a long dark evening and go through all your seed packets. Sort into one pile anything that is more than three years old or has only a smattering of seeds. Now you can take stock of what\u2019s left and order new seed.
