Flowers, friends, etc

I want and need to cheer myself up, so I checked on my seeds in the conservatory. The corn cockles have gone mental, the moon daisies and chamomile are grooving on down, and at long last the heartsease, meadowsweet, petunias and nicotiana are making some kind of effort. No results from the gourds, bolivian peppers and columbines yet. And I remain disturbed by the pumpkins. One long strand has emerged from the earth, and then there's one other...thing...I don't know what it is. It looks like teeth emerging out of a seed. Maybe it's mould. I'm scared to touch it in case it jumps out of the earth, a fully fledged skeletal warrior. I think I will just avoid it for a while.

And frankly, I still need cheering up.
