Each day over the summer holiday as a child my brother and I would race outside after breakfast as we took part in our annual sunflower growing competition. Which one of us would grow the biggest sunflower? We cared for those sunflowers and measured them daily. Then when they were grown and they got tall the flowers would appear, providing seeds for the birds for the autumn and winter. Another English cottage garden favourite wallflowers are lightly scented and look good. They also survive in poor soil so great for the edge of school playgrounds and like the sun or semi shade.
They come in a variety of bright warm colours that really add a splash to the garden.

Foxgloves are also quick growing — these pretty but TOXIC wildflowers are easy to grow but children should be kept away from them as all parts are toxic.

What are the fastest-growing grass seeds? A: Waiting for typical turf grass seeds to sprout and mature can be like—well, watching grass grow! After all, the average grass seed can take eight weeks or more to germinate i. Fortunately, fast-growing grass seed can go from seed to turf in as little as five weeks—an advantage when seeding bare soil or reseeding patches left by erosion or pets. Read on for the low-down on which seeds to sow for speedy, lasting grass growth.
Not all fast-growing grass may tolerate the temperatures where you live, so select the right seed for your climate zone: either cool-season or warm-season. Cool-season grasses thrive in places with temperate summers and many below-freezing winter days—think Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, the upper Great Plains, the upper Midwest, and New England. Warm-season grasses grow best in areas that see hot summers and milder winters, such as the Deep South and the southeast.
For example, marigold seeds are relatively large and super-fast, only needing 5 to 7 days to germinate. Other good choices include zinnia, poppy, morning glory and cosmos, all germinating in 7 to 10 days. After selecting seeds for your project, take a few easy steps to speed up germination. Gently scratch the surface of the seed on sandpaper — called scarification — and then soak the seed in warm water overnight.
This helps speed water absorption. Once you plant your seeds, keep them evenly watered and in a warm spot to continue germination.
