Update on progress

Hi everyone

Firstly we have an official judge. John the Gardener aka John Le Measurer will check the winning submissions and it goes without saying that "the judges decision will be final" and he cannot be bribed!

Progress reported so far for this years competitors is as follows:

Andy Duzniak - out of three one is reported by his wife Carrie to be a good bit taller than her, else not much news from Greenfingers Duzniak.
Keith & Margaret, Rose & Crown - growing very well in a pot and a likely contender, well over 7 foot
Alison Bacon - not as big as Keith and Margarets!
Cathy Simonds- not as big as Cathy and she's only 5' 1" !
Saville Family - one surviving out of three but very spindley - slug sabotage again! - possible contender for the booby prize!
