Hello diary 2024! Still struggling a bit here, trying to fix things at a new house, plus getting a veg patch underway. A few more things growing this season, but a few things I hoped for just left out. But let’s focus on the wins for now… Start them young… wide head sunflowers grown and cared for by my 8 year son for competition at Malvern

And a later sowing. Still much soon than Tony, but the milder UK weather I think will string everything out a bit. Timing is for a late Sept show, so it’s a bit of guess work as never tried to time them before

Long chilli. Thanks Graham. First time grower of these, so timing here a bit of a mystery at this stage

Cantaloupe sowing from 1st June, aiming for end Sept. Growing fast, but timing is going to be very much dependent on weather. Pictured is the 76.12 Prochaska.
