I've noticed that one or two of the other allotment blogs have a musical bent and was therefore very pleased when my Godson Morgan appeared on site today together with his sister Tilly.
Tilly had come hot-footed from winning a prestigious flute playing competition and was persuaded to give the salad seedlings an impromptu concert. I will have to dig out my recorder and perform to the marrow next week, perhaps that old Blow Monkeys tune, 'Digging your Scene'.
Go for it Den...

Motorhead - 'The Ace of Spades'
Could bring my 4 God Trolls down, complete with trombone, leccy guitar, flute and drum kit. That would get the lettuces going.
Well done for the musical therapy - note that idea. You shouldn't have any treble feeling crotchet-y with your veg now - it's the key to success with the minim-um of staff as long as you pitch it right and don't get clef behind - sol-fa so good....
Hey, as a complete contrast to the genteel tones of the flute that they've been getting today, I wonder if your seedlings would thrive if I came up &
unleashed a helping of 'Bend & Flush' by the Pork Dukes, at 100db. They might lean in the opposite direction!
(PS - Well done to Tilly for winning her class in the Festival. Did she get a piano player in the end?)
Or what about...
'Shovel Tear Us Apart' - Joy Division
'Peas Release Me' - Engelbert Humperdinck

Prefab Sprout
You could always use a nice little jazz number by 3 Bean Salad!
Brain salad surgery - Emerson Lake & Palmer
Or if they needed their spirits lifting you could always use a good old fashioned power salad to put a spring in their step
You can't beat radio one! I leave my solar powered radio on so when its bright my tender seedlings have something to listen to. Must be working as my sweet peas for my wedding are already 9 inches tall!
