The first batch of Green Hearts and Valentines (received from Team South Laggan) are doing OK, not great just OK. They've been outside for about 3 weeks now, we've lost a few to the chickens and slugs but the survivors are just about holding themselves upright now!
The Russian Giants that have been kept indoors so far have been slightly more successful and we've decided to introduce a little domestic competition to spice things up. So far Jen's pink pot (pink for girls, blue for boys!) is winning but that's because she didn't look after mine while I had to go away!
We also had a few Russian Giants that we started outside but Jen's have fallen at the first hurdle so that probably puts us neck and neck overall - the tension is definitely mounting at Invergarry Lodge!

The competition is definitely on!! Team Invergarry were just here checking out the South Laggan competition and went away quite happy saying, 'ours are bigger than that'.... it's a marathon tho, not a sprint, that's what i say!! hey hey!!
