Well the day is finally here!

Please bring your lovely sunflowers to the hall foyer in the morning.

Make sure your sunflowers are well named.

There will be a section for Junior, Middle and Senior growers.

The great measuring will take place at lunch time!

Prizes will be awarded for the tallest sunflower and the widest flower head.

Other sunflowers will recieve a certificate for entering.

I look forward to see you all tomorrow.

Happy Growing

Greetings my little Garden Gnomes

Keep those sunflowers well watered, and if they are outside and in flower, their faces should be moving to follow the sun across the sky! - amazing.  I am really looking forward to seeing all these amazing plants on our Valentines day Great Sunflower measure!

Keep picking little leaves of those lettuces for delicious mini summer salads and why not add a few parsley leaves as well.

Wow! we had so much fun yesterday planting those sunflowers.

It was all slightly chaotic - but very exciting...  If you didn't manage to take home one of the competition forms I have attached it below.  I have also attached the plan for the next couple of week.

Next week we will be making lettuce gardens for the children to take home.

Each child will need a plastic food container with lid - similar to the take-a-way ones

Donations of potting mix or lettuce seeds would be most welcome!

Hi there fellow gardeners

I am looking forward to the first ever annual sunflower competition tomorrow.

Mr Holmes is busy putting seeds into cups already for you to add your seed raising mix.

This will hopefully make it a little easier on everyone as I have given out nearly 200 little notices!
