I'm a dad!!

[HeyWayne]

Just thought I'd share their first photo with you, please be quiet though, I think the others are still asleep....

oh so cute, can't wait for mine to germinate

[Flummery]

Ahh! Must get my courgettes in - I have a marrow I'm SO proud of! Sad, innit?

Well done Wayne, wish I could say how exciting it all is. I've only got to look at my seedlings and they keel over in a very unbecoming way!

Just got home to check on the boys (or girls, it's too early to tell), and they're coming on great guns! Even been joined by another.

Also, my sprouts have started to come up - exciting times!!! I've got about 5 little baby sproutlings poking through.

Can't wait for the rest to appear.

I know the feeling Wayne this morning 2 out of my 38 parsnips seeds have popped their heads above the compost.

Good news Wayne! Looking at their current 'homes' it won't be long before they're moving on.....they grow up sooo fast!!

Ain't that the truth!? I came downstairs this morning to be greeted by some small plants! I'm almost sure some "plant fairy" has been in my house over night and swapped my seedlings for bigger plants! I've put them in the greenhouse today, and I suspect I'll be harvesting by the weekend...

I've saved a load of vending machine cups from work which I'm planning to turn into little plant pots (after making drainage holes in the bottom).

Hi there Haywayne, congrats on becoming a 'dad', we all know how exciting it is when the seedlings show their heads.

Derek and I became Grandparents again back in Feb when aprox 300 Musselburgh leeklings, aprox 50 Unwin Exhibition Onions and about 30 Ailsa Craig onions showed their tiny heads. All doing very nicely too.

This w/e we will be planting out our maincrop potatoes (Maris Piper) to join our early spuds, Maris Bard and Int Kidney.

Then over the next few weeks we will be starting to sow peas, runner beans, broad beans and various cabbages, caulis, carrots etc.

They grow up far too quickly! Yesterday morning I checked the propagator and nothing showing their heads. Due to various commitments etc. it was 8 pm before I looked again - the Cosmos were about 2" high!

Hello Heywayne, thanks for the pics. How many courgettes are you growing ? I reckon you need one plant for each person in the house to give you all the courgettes you would ever want to eat.

Well done Bren, I'm still waiting to see a parsnip pop up. They're always at the coo's tail.

[Bren In Pots]

Alice I hope your parsnips appear soon, just done a head count and I've got 20 seedlings.

Mine took ages to show, I even thought about digging down to have a look what they were doing but then realised that would be silly.

[madderbat]

I'm soo excited, all over again! One of my courgette seeds has sprouted, and another has shifted position. Looks like they are on their way!

courgettes

I think they sent me trifid seeds by mistake, they are enormous and there was no sign of them 2 days ago, this morning I found them pushing the lid of the propagator

[denise]

i got 2 parsnips germinated, at last they took 14 days. They are on the window sill of a unheated room, i think the sun of the last few days has got them going. Time to sow more!
