Operation Sunflower - Part Two (Who Is Pete Potts?)

There was more hard graft along the fence on Saturday morning, and as you can see, we did a pretty good job! The back is definitely broken on the clearing up, all that Dad needs to do is finish off the last few bits then prepare the soil in readiness for the seedlings.



Sam caught someone out while they were skiving....

We're using peat pots to get the flowers going, that way we can just stick them straight into the ground. 48 peat pots from Poundland and a bag of compost from the same place takes the total spend on this project to a whopping £2. And Sam did, really, ask "Who is Pete Potts?" when I was outlining the day's itinerary.

Planting seeds is great fun, and a very pleasant, tactile activity whether you're six, or forty two.....

Last job of the day was to thoroughly water the seeds into their new homes.
