First Fruit

The Roma tomatoes are already on their way. That's the benefit of buying seedlings that are already flowering. A little bit of stress in the pots before planting out is a good thing and starts the flowering process early.

Golden Nugget

The bush pumpkins, Golden Nugget, have popped their heads up. I've never grown these before, they grow like zucchini as far as I can tell rather than on a vine like the butternuts. The seed packet says to leave 2 seedlings per clump with each clump around 40-50cm apart. I'm not so sure about this, and since I've planted 4 clumps, I'm going to thin to 1 plant per clump and see how it goes for the first year. That means one of these guys has to die.
