What flower seeds could I sow outside now to flower this year?

Your timing's absolutely perfect for any half-hardy annuals.

Nasturtiums will be great sown just now - you can eat the flowers and leaves in salads and sarnies and pickle the seeds to use instead of capers. http://www.herbalgardens.com/archives/articles-archive/nasturtiums.html

Leggy mint - help!

You can't kill mint - I'd chop them back quite short (use the prunings with new potatoes, peas, mint sauce etc) and leave them on the balcony - let them get dryish between waterings. Stand well back - as the weather warms up they'll really begin to grow

Bare Root Rose - No Growth?

Does it have any buds at all? If not, I'd cut them all back to a mark on all three stems where a bud would be if it had any as if you were pruning it, and see what the insides of the stems are like

Roasted asparagus is delicious too http://allrecipes.com/recipe/oven-roasted-asparagus/

You lucky thing

Now you're going to have to read up on how to look after an asparagus bed

Oh, if you've never eaten it before you ought to be aware that it makes some people's pee smell odd afterwards - doesn't last long but can be a bit alarming if you don't know why

Good morning Matty - for some reason Google wouldn't let me put myself on the map but Nutcutlet put me on - she's a kind soul ask her and let her know where you are and I'm sure she'll put you on when she gets a moment from admiring her paeonies Isn't it a brilliant idea?

Or .... just looked in my garden at the white campion and my Sweet Rocket (Hesperis Matronalis) another one for attracting good insects - mine is just at that stage and looks a bit like your plant but downier - have you sown any Sweet Rocket- (one of my favourites - casts its perfume on the evening air

Can any confirm identification please?

Doesn't look like one to me - the bugloss I know is very hairy, almost prickly.

That looks more like a campion/silene http://www.luontoportti.com/suomi/en/kukkakasvit/white-campion , great for night-flying insects, but that has slightly downy leaves - is your plant slightly downy - it doesn't look it from the photograph.
