Prize winning gardening

In the mail box this week we had a little packet of seeds from Progressive otane - the local group injecting life into our village. There is a competition to grow the best sunflowers in time for our big village fete in Feb. Every house has been sent a packet and been asked to plant them so that the village is full of bright yellowness come Waitangi day. Yeeha! See that's why I moved to the Country!

And. My godmother sent us a big packet of swan plant seeds so we can attract the monarchs.

And. Auntie H sent us some cucumber seeds and kept some for Miss O and now we are having a "Who can grow the biggest cucumber" competition.
