    Looking on other forums, folk have started them off in october for planting out in spring, but we've come into this a bit late so a january start will have to do, time we get organised & all.

    1st Jan 2011 sounds good to me.

    It'll give the other members a chance to sign up too, the more the merrier.

    Grew a few of these in the past. Not hugely successful.

    Just to get my excuses in early, I may or may not be moving house during winter / spring, so am immediately at a disadvantage. Probably adds 3 foot to my eventual score, actually, agreed all?

    :lollol:

    No chance, you just keep it in a pot like the rest of us. :D

    Seriously though, I hope it all goes well & that you get a bigger garden if you do have to move.

    Welcome on board to the competition though.

    We gonna have to think about a trophy next.

    Don't worry about a Trophy, Ziggy.
    The Laurels of Victory will be fine for me :yez:

    :) How about a virtual trophy, say a golden trowel which the winner gets pinned to their signature, with the year underneath ?

    & silver & bronze trowels for second & third ?

    I thought I was taking the boys on by myself - not that it would have been a problem, you understand :D

    Nice one :gnthb:

    How are we going to let all the other members who only lurk in the sub forums know about this ? And are spybots allowed to enter ?
