The great a4all sunflower competition!
legless:
The rules (so far/ at the moment)
1. you choose your own variety
2. sowing date to correspond with the sowing date for the Gardener's World sunflower trial, however you can sow later if you cannot make that date.
3. use whatever technique you can to grow the tallest flower.
4. measuring date yet to be set but expected to correspond with gardener's world trial date (approx 80 days from sowing date)
5. measurements should be accompanied by a photo showing a bamboo cane marked with tape at 1 foot/ 30 cm intervals with a 1 foot/ 30 cm ruler taped to it for scale.
6. competition is open to anyone including children of members
7. the winner shall be the grower of the tallest sunflower.
8. no cheating ;D

SO,
You too must be a reader/subscriber to Gardens Monthly, cos guess what - thats the variety me and mine are growing, and with a height of between 6-15ft there will be serious competition
since we belong to the same 'lottie' !!
Shall inform the children to be on lookout for any shifty-eyed legless-looking types who may wander past the plot with notepad, pen and camera ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D
legless:
