Although I did wonder about the football. Are you sure it's not my next door neighbour's? It looks very familiar.

Oh pleeeasse.......... this is a very select neighbourhood :rotfl:

You can tell by the orange paint on the fence and the general state of the fence, which is mostly being held up by next doors shed, the ivy and my loganberry

Ah yes, of course. Round here everyone's got new fences.

Doesn't help you grow big sunflowers though

Well, at least I was shamed into moving the ones left in the seed tray into their own pots. I pot 9 (I think) in the veg patch. My veg patch looks ubsurd this year. Not enough out there, and no semblance of organisation....apart from the sunflowers. I think my priorities are all wrong this year!

Count me in to the competition please. I have a few on the plot that almost rivals Lotus. I'll have to start feeding them my secret mix lol

Right the first page is updated - again if I've missed you out I'm sorry - just let me know and I'll add you

I'm hoping to plant mine out this week - but it's gone cold again might try hardening them off first - it's just tricky having to travel to the lottie twice a day to do it. I might try to do it in the yard my front door is attached to - but lord knows what lurks under the stairs (mind you the triffids that attack our stairs are growing huge again)

i will have to see how my daughters friends ones are getting on as she planted some from rabbit food and they were massive weeks ago- shes in competition with me:eek::rotfl:
the others in back garden are all similar but kids are happy so thats the main thing:)
