This "growth"literally happened overnight.
Fortunately for me, Nigel popped his head through the greenhouse door and suggested that I took out one of the staging trays - that then meant that I could put the triffid cucumber, which was by this time growing out of the greenhouse door, on the floor and with a little addition of a piece of string to climb up, that's one happy cucumber plant! (there are about 6 others in there - a mixture of normal and "picollino" or snack cucumbers.
Now this is one of my Tomatoes - Tomato Roma in fact. These plants are in the greenhouse and are doing very very well indeed. They are now getting fed twice a week, as are the squashes, cucumbers, chilli's, sweetpeppers etc.
This is lot 4 of peas - the others outside are either still growing or I have eaten them! Delicious
And this is a chilli that appeared overnight! There is also one, just as big on the plant thats outside!!

Wow - I'm impressed with your toms! I'm growing all my cucumbers outside up bamboo wigwams. There's Telegraph, Marketmore, Gherkins and Crystal Lemon but they're all either a couple of inches tall or about a foot tall. I have about a dozen chilli plants in my plastichouse of different varieties but no flowers yet, never mind chillies!
Wow - can't believe that cucumber! Sometimes you wish you were there to see them grow - but somehow it is always when you aren't looking.
You are taking such good care of those plants - you must be a natural. Mine are lucky to get a once weekly look over, let alone feed or water. Fortunately today, the skies took over the watering duties!
