Congrats on your seedling - my OH was exactly the same when I made him kneel down & peer under my cloche @ the peas I'd planted! Some people just don;t get it!

Congratulations. Can still remember how you feel. Keep going and keep us posted. How about a piccy.

How do you put a picture on a reply... Have been trying for ages and its driving me insane

Won't the 'Insert image' icon work?

Try to upload it as an attachment (paperclip icon) from your hard-drive, make sure the file is not too large (less than 50kb?).

Gawdambugs, thanks for the piccy of the seedling. Not a religious person but may God grant you many more. Bet you're as proud of that piccy as you are of the seedling. Think this forum does as much for our IT skills as it does for our gardening skills. I know I was insufferably proud of myself when I managed to post a piccy. Let us have another one before you forget how to do it. Must do one myself before I forget.

Gdb, wait until you're eating it. If you get too attached to it you'll never eat it.

GDB, you didn't tell us what it's name is!

Hi all, came in from work today and I have 5 out of 6 seeds that have made an appearance Am so excited.. Not sure when I should plant them out

Am still working on clearing my allotment and am a bit nervous of planting them out in case they die

HAve decided to call my first seedling Cecil.... he is getting rather big now - bless him

Imagine your first born being a cauliflower named Cecil at that Congratulations on the arrival of all the brothers and sisters. Don't give them names or you'll never be able to eat them. Just enjoy them for what they are.Miracles.

GDB, congrats on the new arrivals. Be careful not to plant them out too soon, let them get a few inches tall & harden them off before you put them out.

Congrats on all your new arrivals. I still get a buzz out of stuff shooting their little first little leaves onto the top of the compost. I also phone my partner at work and teel him.

He doesn't mind though, he knows i'm barking mad

Just keep them as they are for now until they have 3 or 4 true leaves on them. Then you can either transplant them, or if the pots are big enough, pop them into a cold frame to harden off.

I've just transplanted my caulis on and can't wait for them to be harvested. Will do a nice cheesy bacon sauce to go over the top!!! You could make a Cheesy Cecil:
