We have a seedling! 
I brought my seed trays inside last night to protect them from the surprise blizzard, and spotted this little guy. 
There are also a few smaller siblings beginning to push through, but they’re harder to see.
My next adventure will be to figure out how the heck to transfer them into my actual garden beds when they’re bigger and it is safe to do so, weatherly-speaking. 
@tiamat271 I get wildly and completely giddy about seedlings showing. I get the missus to take photos for me - or walk me round the greenhouse on her phone if she’s feeling keen - while I’m working away. It’s ridiculously exciting!
@JimmyB Yes! It is so exciting and makes me ridiculously happy! Gardening is a rollercoaster of emotions, for sure lol
@tiamat271 I try to accept the failures and losses stoically - and like Churchill’s modest adversary who had plenty to be modest about - I have plenty to be stoical about!
But that feeling when you can share something tasty or flowers or seedlings, or put a stack of something in the freezer or a preserving jar…
The successes always take me somewhat by surprise in fact. It’s fabulous!

@JimmyB 100%! Although, being somewhat new to gardening, I need to work on my stoicism. If my seeds don’t grow or a plant doesn’t make it, I have a horrible tendency to take it personally and interpret it as a reflection of my worth as a person (not really, but you know lol) 
@tiamat271 I know exactly! You feel like there’s something wrong with you when you look at a tray that should be full of seedlings but it’s still bare… when the pigeons have eaten the brassicas of the blackbird has got the cherries I feel like an idiot…
