    Can I join?

    No.



    You may grow a tournesol instead. ;)
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Mine go straight out as soon as they pop through the soil, but I'm in London and it doesn't go much below 8 at night from now on.
    I will sow more outside directly tomorrow too.

    You bought them from ASDA? I quite like the look of those, for flowers. :p

    Right I am planted up and ready for the competition so bring it on.

    When is the measuring day? As it needs to be the same for everyone who wants to enter, end of September or October time?
