I'm a dad!!

[HeyWayne]

My first seedlings have started to show their faces!!

I've got four courgettes just starting to break the surface of the compost. I'm so proud, my first ever grown-from-seed plants.

Woohoo!

Congratulations

I'm glad I'm not the only one who regards my plants as my babies. I always feel really proud when one of my babies grows up and leaves the nursery.

Hope you have many more

I see you are still celebrating Wayne!!!

PS- well done 'daddy'

It's just the best thing -'It's a kind of magic....' not one we can achive on our own.

[Flummery]

Courgettes too. They'll grow into big kids Wayne. Well done. You never stop getting excited either!

[HeyWayne]

Courgettes too. They'll grow into big kids Wayne.

Well I guess that's only to be expected, I'm a big chap!

Planted the rest of my potatoes too at the weekend - fingers crossed. Speaking of which, is there a rule of thumb for how many potatoes each seed (potato) produces?

[Flummery]

I don't think so Wayne, the yield depends on the variety. Seed catalogues usually say something like Yield - Moderate or Yield - High but they don't define it.

Congratulations Hey Wayne. Yes it is a wonderful feeling - and know what? -you never lose it no matter how many seeds you germinate. I think that's why we all do it. Hope you get a bumper crop of courgettes.

[Two_Sheds]

I hope you DON'T get a bumper crop of courgettes....after picking them every day for a fortnight, you'll wish you'd only grown one! (I'll still put 3 plants in tho...one for me, one for the slugs and one for luck)

It never fails to amaze me how each year I get more excited about my seedlings!

[dexterdoglancashire]

Well done Wayne! Its a FAB feeling isnt it? I nip into my greenhouse am and pm (B4 and after work) and see what has happened! I still wonder how those little seeds can germinate, then grow into the wonderful veg we eat from our plates!
Brill eh?!

Oh and I was hoping the excitment of seeing *New Babies* never wanes. I thought I was the only mad one and have been sneaking out and peeking in the greenhouse when everyone else was preoccupied and wouldn't notice me *ohhh-ing and arrr-ing* at my new babies :-)

[madderbat]

congratulations HeyWayne, isn't it a wonderful feeling? Just watch out, now the worry - too much water, too little light, not warm enough.
When you find yourself going about in pjs in the dark after a warm day to cover the babies up - you know you're really hooked!
