I have just realised I need to register it , so here goes:

Date sown: 1st May
variety:       Giant Single
location:    Directly in the soil in our back garden in behind my
                Arum lilies
cost:          99p from Tesco
contestant: Youngest son Neil aged 6 yrs, we decided he should
                  plant this for his Beaver badge challenge. So we are
                  taking pictures of him in action doing all the hard
                  work. Will keep you up to date.

Just wanted to know if this will be allowed.  One of my babies has had the growing point eaten by snails.  >:( I left it just to see what happened,  and joy of joys... ;D now 2 new flowering heads are growing well.  I dont think that they will both grow as tall as just one head but I'm giving it a go.
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.
