Me too. I've also got flowers on courgette and squash plants.  There's even a couple of baby fruit on my Parthenon courgette :)

Really wish I'd started off my cucumbers earlier than I did though.  I'd like to get them planted in my tunnel beds this week, but they're still very small.

I've got some baby tomatoes that have just started showing on my cherry tomato plants, and a couple on one of my moneymakers and plum celine. I did start them really early though.

Picked my first mangetout from the polytunnel, which was very rewarding.

No sign of sweetpea flowers though. Can't wait for those. Hopefully they'll get a spurt on this week now it's warming up a bit.

MOS - have you got heating in your glasshouse? I haven't dared put my courgettes and aubergines and peppers in my unheated tunnel till the last week or two.

They did the out during the day in at night thing for months! I finally planted everything out on the 14th May
I used a polysheeting/bubblewrap tent over stuff on every cold night.

In the glasshouse the paraffin heater was also used for the 2 coldest nights (down to 2.5C outside) and 2 fat poundland candles were lit (with terracotta pots over the top) in the polycarb to help as well.

Gulp - respect  :D. Are those the early sowings from the tomato experiment ?  Mine are only a few inches tall and the courgettes are just sprouting their seed leaves !

Yes, they were experimental sowings for the Gartenperle on 12th Jan and  for the Parthenon (self pollinating) courgette on 24th March ;)

Both obviously worked this year  :D
