Pumpkins and courgettes have germinated VERY quickly, I had to put them in bigger pots after 5 days! Otherwise, all the flowers have broken through the ground, the gooseberries, rhubarb, tomatoes and eggplant have emerged. Only waiting on the peppers now. How exciting!

I’ve been protecting these damn seedlings like a mad mother hen -- with such a fuss I sometimes scare myself!

Pumkins, eggplants, tomatoes. All a week old.
