Sorry Andy - didn't mean to insult the young lady :-[ It's just that not being able to see her clearly, she looks so young - never mind - a nice compliment for her I think :D :)

After a 3 weeks absence, I came back to find everything on my side of the fence choked with Russian vine from next door! It took me an hour to untangle my sunflowers. This one in in the garden, I'm off to the plot in a mo to see the state of things down there. The sunflower in the pic is 3.30 Metres and goes to the top of the white stick. I'm on a chair too! It's got a large 'bud' but hasn't flowered yet.

I think a 'Well Done' to all those who had a go is in order. The past weeks have seen some pretty wierd weather. Gales, heavy rain and floods. Anyone who got a flower over 2mtrs has done a good job. (In my case it's been more luck than owt else.)
Went to the plot yesterday and I'm only telling the truth, not being a clever dick. I have one flower at 3.60mtrs and one at exactly 4metres. What might be a thought for next year would be the diameter of the flower head. Easier to measure and possibly easier for more people to have a go. Maybe also, the number of heads on a single plant?

Me and mine...
I haven't bothered measuring as somehow I don't think I'm a contender!
But considering how much of it has been slug-munched, it's not bad!

Here here! It has been fun, and for me, this has been the first time I have grown sunflowers successfully. I have been rewarded with 8 wonderful flowers, all over 6 foot tall and a couple of real whoppers. One has provided me with a gorgeous vase of flowers for my lounge as at each leaf joint it produced a baby sunflower and they all opened at the same time. Seemed criminal to leave them on the plot for the fox to enjoy and me to miss, so I cut them and they look stunning in a very tall vase I have.
I shall look forward to competeing next year, but I will try some different varieties......... ;D

Sorry Andy. The wind got it before I could pic it.
This should be a pic of the 4 metre one.
