The Quirkiest and Most Extraordinary Planter Competition

This competition is running for the whole month of June on my blog.

It seems that finding the Quirkiest Planter is a much harder task than I first anticipated. And, as Lisa suggested, most gardeners - especially in the northern hemisphere - are too busy in their gardens to enjoy participating in a competition.

So, after much deliberation, and agreement by our sponsor and judge, it has been decided to not only extend the time frame for the whole month of June but also widen the scope of what we're looking for. Obviously, the 'Quirkiest Planter' is still desirable but we're also happy to include the 'Most Extraordinary' container plants as well.

Maybe you're trying out an upside-down tomato planter, or your strawberry tower is full to overflowing. You might have created a container of bulbs that are blooming their heads off or your annual posse is magnificent to say the least.

You can include photos that have already been published provided you create a new post for them (for bloggers). The rest of the guidelines remain and the competition will end on Saturday 30 June, 2007.
