                    Now that's just showing off Richard :), its a good job members with Super Gardener status are not included :yes:, I would stick to pumpkins and get some practice in looking at that pea sized one you grow last year :heehee:.

                            Nearly all my red ones are up tray first left, they looked nice last year the red ones,

                            I made a bit of a clearing in the greenhouse today I will put them in it tomorrow it might bring them on a bit quicker.

                              Kids did some in nursery ages ago their about 2 foot tall now. With another few weeks growing at home I have no idea how I will get them to the allotment.
