I know it’s bad but I really do have greenhouse envy!!
I think Veggie's showing off.......... justifiably!
All I've got is a trough of very straggly peas, a pot of carrots nibbled by some unknown pest and a pot of chard, I think, as I've not been up the gh's in days.
JJB, Most of the green stuff is self seeded. The lettuce and chard are in the 3rd year. I'm lazy and don't weed much in the GH - most of the seedlings become edible!
The spinach has lots of holes and I'm finding caterpillar frass on the leaves - and a few curled up green caterpillars. Its all useful for feeding Mr Greedy in the corner of GH1. None of it stands up to close inspection.

Frass, that's a new word for me. Greens and caterpillars, both must be good chook food too. Nextdoor's chickens used to love chard.
Greenhouse fully planted for summer now. Staging has been moved to the opposite side (what a faff!) so the tomatoes don't cast shade on the peppers. On the left...8 tomatoes, 20 basils and some leeks hiding at the back. On the right...18 peppers on the staging, 20 in the ground underneath (with old weed membrane to help keep the soil a bit warmer as an experiment). Two cucumbers in a recycling bin and one mystery pepper in a pot at the back.
I'm going to take pics of inside ghs and of the veg plot today, stand by in anticipation
