I kinda mostly stopped watching his utoob stuff a year or two ago*, but I still use this Charles Dowding 2023 calendar as a rough sowing guide. Shown here is April. It's a convenient physical format simple single page reference & lives next to the bed, though I do also regularly refer to other online sources. (I don't really like the popuar "what I am sowing this month" videos, I do watch some, preferably shorter simpler ones, more Plot 37 Jessie style than the OTT intensity of Outgrow Steve.)
This weekend I am planning to sow a pea gutter, a second set of broad beans in root trainers, cornflowers, nasturtiums, a tiny amount of lettuce, multi-sown spring onions and I'm hoping to get some carrot and radish direct sown down the #allotment tomorrow.
I am considering getting in early with the nasturtiums too, and maybe doing a top-up sowing of sunflowers as I had a few fails in the last round.
Better crack on I guess, the long weekend is well more than halfway gone. I have a lot to do.
