Given the current cold snap, has anyone else delayed planting of their seeds indoors?

I haven't delayed sowing anything indoors, but I have delayed moving anything from indoors to outdoors or the polytunnel. And now the house is full of seedlings

I have some hardy stuff in the polytunnel borders but nothing sown outside and no tender plants sown at all. We have a few more nights of sharpish frosts forecast and then some less cold weather so that may be my cue to start. I have put a cold frame in the polytunnel and am on the look out for that bag of bubble wrap I put away somewhere

I haven't planted anything yet, but I'm planning to make a start within the next week. I was organising my seeds today.

My greenhouse is getting overloaded. Pots on top of pots, perched on the corners of trays etc etc. But it was -5 deg C last night supposedly colder tonight.

At least the covering of snow on the polytunnel this morning kept it a bit insulated

I've got stuff on the go indoors, given up trying to harden it off for now, that freezing wind will just kill it.

The ground temperature is still far too low as well.

All my brassicas have been put into pots in the potting shed.
