Aww bless them Dawn.. mine used to love sowing sunflower seeds when they were little, and we did the cress and bamboo shoots one all the time. We were never in one place long enough to do much more, unfortunately.

You take care of yourself,

Daff
am okish just plodding on.

And as for the size of his pumpkins they were sown by tiddler and laddo and hubby nurtured them, they arent too big.

I love having an ex chef cook for me eldest was determined to say his soup was yuk yesterday to prove a point but she couldnt and ended up having some too

Yes BC.......they may be orange and knobbly, but he loves them!!

So many pumpkins.......................so few cookery skills!

*sighs*

Oh well, they will make great candle holders for halloween.
