    ok so this may sound daft to the more seasoned gardener but i am getting a little (very) excited

    my garden peas are 5" tall and have been planted out,
    the broad beans are 3" and looking good
    the onions are in the ground as are my tats
    beets, spinach and basil are planted
    and my cabbages are in the nursery beds
    my carrots are just comming through in my home made paper pots
    my strawberries, cues and toms have just been sown ( in green house)

    oh and the grandbabies is doing their bit and their cress is growing great !!!!

    the OH thinks i have gone mad as i keep going to Check every thing lol

    Nothing like it...

    I have potatoes through...
    Lettuce (butterhead) seeds just through..
    Red Onion sets growing away happily...
    Tomato seedlings ready for splitting and potting up...
    Carrot Healthmaster seeds are also in..
    Cucumber seedlings doing nicely..
    Pepper seeds just through too...

    Over the next week I'm putting in Pumpkin & Sweetcorn seeds, followed by Runner Beans and Green Beans; also have some Pak Choi and Lettuce Lolla Rossa to go in when it gets a bit warmer.

    Oh and I also keep checking everything, my wife thinks I'm nuts.....she loves the end products though lol

    Don't sound daft to me, & i've been growing veg since I was 7 :D

    Still get excited about things coming up & still checking things at every moment, a twig for support here, a bit of earthing up there, etc.

    Imagine my horror this morning as I picked up a wet sock that was frozen as stiff as a board & then found the protection had blown off the spuds in the night.

    The plants had closed their leaves into a rosebud shape but had completly withstood the frost. They opened up in the sun & are doing fine.:yess:
