Whoops, I already prepared today's GAPP a whole day in advance, but I forgot to post it, hence the unusually late posting. Today's puzzle is a Gardens!

Rules: Shade some cells such that the remaining unshaded cells form rectangles made of groups of orthogonally adjacent cells (called "gardens"). Gardens must not touch orthogonally, but they can touch diagonally. Number clues must be unshaded, and each garden contains exactly one number clue indicating the size of the garden it is in. No 2x2 area can be entirely shaded.

Finish the puzzle in 1:23 or less for a Speedy Sloth 🦥!
Finish the puzzle in 2:46 or less for a Quick Crab 🦀!
Finish with any time at all for A Duel Tern 🐦!
