I potted on my seedlings at the weekend... about 6 inches tall with some nice healthy sets of leaves on them, even tied to them to some 'mini stakes' in the form of wooden skewers... my battle is commencing!

OK folks - we've had our little bit of fun on here, but it's getting so that we can't see the wood for the trees and I don't want to miss anyone asking to participate.

Get it out of your system, as tomorrow I intend tidying this thread up and then I will ask purely for posts from those asking to participate or to report on the progress of their plants.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I've tided up the extraneous chat and placed in a separate locked thread, rather than delete them and ruin people's post count.

Could we  post please just to register and to talk about your plant's progress, (or lack of it).

Mine are just poking through.

Mine are all about 8" tall, and after a week's hardening off were planted out on the plot today. Fingers crossed there'll be no frosts to get them or else my headstart is in vain!

Please put me down in the 'runners and riders' list. Mine are about 3cm tall with two leaves.
Taken over neglected veg garden at new home. Enemy number 1 Ground Elder. Then there is the furry terror - bunnies - to contend with!
Made a start have beds established but moved in too late for serious planting. We shall see what 2015 brings.
