Mine are showing too and have been for a few days. They are in containers, and I have now topped up the compost so many times to cover them up that I have run out of room!!! The containers need an extension!  :ohmy:

Mine are coming through too! I think that the cold weather held them back a bit but they are showing at last.  :D
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
