    Happiness :)

    My tomato plant survived and has now got several mini toms growing where the flowers dropped

    Coriander is dying though, with just one seedling still living due to the horrible weather

    Carrots, Peas and Pumpkin are doing great, I also have 3 home grown pepper plants (2 green one yellow) as seedlings thriving (and a sweet red pepper plant I rescued from the garden centre) yey.

    Planted three broad bean seeds about 8 days ago, one has got a shoot. Yeahyer! everything seems to be thriving, especially the carrots in my mini-allotment box, they're everywhere!

    Finally, I really didnt know you got potato shoots from just planting a potato in the ground, i thought u only got them from seeds! How wrong was I I now have 16 potato shoots that have come through! WOOP

    I love it! I think I'm going to make this a vocation.

      Yay! Well done you.
      I ate my first (baby sized) courgettes today... Brilliant

          everything of mine has been about an inch tall for the last month they look very healthy, but just aren't growing ....... i'm fast losing hope of ever eating anything ...... in fact the only things that are growing really well are the blooming melon seeds in my lawn lol

              This is my first year growing too, upto now we have big potato bushes, lots of tomato plants + bushes all bursting with fruit(no ripe ones yet though ), I noticed one of my corns had a baby corn down the top of it, we have also had lettuce(lots + lots) raddish, corguette, cucs, strawbs, salad onions. our peppers and chillis have started flowering. The psb has shoots our 1st yr asparagus crowns have taken nicley. so as a first year all is going well.

              Although for next year we have learned not to put our outside toms too close to each other in the ground as they all get tangled up!!.

                A lot of my stuff is stunted, too. I've put much more effort in than the last time I produced veg, but sadly I think the weather is against us. I've never seen such short bean plants or tomatoes. The toms in particular are terribly bunched up, like they're huddled up against the weather!

                  Ive noticed that, though all my plants are doing well, its my peas that are actually flourishing. My tom plant even though it has several fruit coming through with more flowers waiting to drop, is a small plant and hasn't grown much except to form new baby leaves on allready existing stems
                  Pumpkins slow to, but getting there.
                  My coriander has been killed off entirely now
                  damn weather

                    Ooooooo, I'm sharing your excitement - my purple climbing french beans are coming on leaps and bounds - we've got 7 ready to eat now, but with 5 mouths to feed I think I need to hang on a bit longer before harvesting them I've got 8 little cucumbers just starting to grow (marketmore) and my broad beans are just starting to form too. I reckon another week and we'll be tucking into loads from the garden

                        Know the feeling sooooo exciting. Weather is a pain though, I sewed some more carrots and they are taking much longer than the spring ones to germinate....my early carrots are great though......having them and a nice harvest of peas tonight....yum yum
