Not bad - seedlings 3 days after sowing. Cucumber on the left, Rocket on the right.
I begin to understand how Rocket got its name.
Pink Strawberry seedlings planted today:
And some Herbs:

A month and a day after sowing seed
I was pretty happy with the progress, at this point - 32 days from seed.
but now, after 55 days it's starting to go crazy. The Zucchini, Squash, Cucumbers and Silverbeet are all heroic performers:
I'd sort of forgotten just how satisfying it is to grow your own produce. This morning I was able to make 1½ litres of Pesto in two different flavours.
We've been eating great Zucchinis and Silverbeet. Bok Choi too, and last night we were able to have 2 beans and 3 Snow Peas each! Oh, and for dessert Lola got two Strawberries.

So the next GTG will be a black tie affair, all we will need is the appropriate liquids to go with it

Brett,
Impressive cage work. Are the critters in your area so bad?
Cheers,

Yeah, stacks of Possums and birds Rob. Apparently possums are dead keen on Basil - I thought it would be too strong for them. Useful for keeping cat scats out of there too. Blackadder really likes it in there, lounging around under the Zucchinis. He's a pretty smart boy, so I've more or less got him trained not to dig in there.
It's actually quite a useful staging point for getting him in at night. In this hot weather he likes to nick off down the back and not come in for tucker, so if I go to the garden and he follows, at least I can harbour him there. Mind you, trying to catch him amongst that lot is......well, like trying to herd cats.
