6 courgette plants now sprouting in pots, still too cold in North Wales for them to go on the allotment, not much sign of anything else yet except a load of weeds

90 onion sets planted this evening.... planter is cold, wet, muddy, but very pleased! Courgettes (x 2) are sitting in pots in the back yard waiting for their chance to be planted out...
The first 2 plants are out on the compost heap (which they are sharing with the 2 sloworms) underneath two plastic bell cloches. 1 plant is a Tosca and other Orelia, some Zuchini are chitting in the kitchen.
This is exciting.
several plants now in potting shed (still too cold for outside) 5 round yellow fruited plants still in kitchen (don't know the name)
I've got 6 Courgettes, 4 Aubergines(experiment) and 4 pepper plants gone out, Peas and mangetout, Strawberrys and Raspberrys, Early strawberrys are already flowering, We've had Rhubarb already.
All progressing well, 15 plants scattered about the garden, with the 2 on the compost heap well ahead and showing baby courgettes. Just waiting for them to flower.
Owowowowow! This is getting exciting! Babies already
I have been eating away at the asparagus, have had rhubabrb already and the oakleaf lettuce is growing profusely... strawberries about to turn red and flowring/fruiting like maniacstomatoes coming along in the greenhouse as well... but no sign of any courgettes

When you're up a mountain it's all a bit slower but we have got flowers on the tomatoes in the greenhouse. What does grow like weeds here though are Jerusalem artichokes!!
A courgette flower (with baby underneath) bloomed today, with others close behind. Not long now.
Missus had the first strawberry on Thursday (with her porridge, there's class). And more ripe, but Missus is away till Monday - should I give them to the Tortoises?
Do tortoises like strawberries? I'll try that one on mine...
