It's getting exciting!

As I walked into my utility room yesterday evening, I noticed something "green" beneath the plastic lid protecting the seeds I had sown.

To my astonishment (as I am always astonished by such things) I noticed that a courgette had started to break through the soils surface and next door, so had a dwarf french bean!


How thrilling!


This is the courgette close up.


And on further inspection, I noticed that the Broad Beans were joining in too!!

I have just been back there this morning to check on progress and this is what I have found - and it's ever so exciting.....



The tomatoes have done their thing overnight!


More Broad Beans are sprouting and last by not least.....


The courgette has turned into a Loch Ness Monster!

Until next time folks as I am off to the Allotment now to check on the heater in the Green House, water the Peas & Leeks and to pay my bill at the Trading Hut for the paraffin I purchased "on the slate" last weekend.

Blimey! Isn't it a bit early for courgettes? If it isn't, I'd better get a shufty on!!!

It's always so exciting to see all the seeds germinating. Some of mine are at the potting on stage so it looks like I'll be busy this weekend.
