Sounds good, BB. Alas, I have lost all this year's attempts of butternut, sweetcorn and cherry tomatoes because I did not read instructions! 
The packet said plant the seeds in individual pots and I didn't. So when it came to planting them out, the roots were too intertangled and didn't survive transplanting into the peat pots I had.
I have tried again last week by planting the tomatoes individually in peat pots and nothing has germinated.
Methinks this year I shall rather wait and see what comes up in the garden rather
On the positive side, the nasturtiums and alyssums I planted for the kids in their own pots are flourishing... go figure.
Hope the survivors of your crop make it into your tum at the end of the season ... nothing like the fruits of one's own labours
