Brilliant!!

But I'll tell you one thing - from long experience - veg are more difficult to produce!!

Not showing off at all - justified pride I call it :) Bet you have a nice shady spot marked out on the lottie for Laura May to snooze the hours away while you continue the good work!!

Wow!  I was stunned to see courgettes on your first picture already but even more open mouthed at the second photo!  Gorgeous and scrummy!  Well done you.

thanks to all for your kind words...

Laura is doing very well, weighed yesterday and is now 9lb 10oz (weighed 7lb 7oz when born), and she had started to smile at us, which really is great...

We ate some spuds and the Courgette last night, they were yummy, and beetroot sandwiches for lunch today...

Regards,

DLM.

Congrats. 

We enjoyed some first ever home grown spuds last night too.

My offspring (rather bigger than yours at 15 and 10) were impressed with the potato crop from 3 seed spuds in a 3 gallon bucket.

Only suggestion is to enjoy gardening this summer - next year you will be chasing that little sprout everywhere!!!

Good luck and happy gardening
Shirley
