Congratulations to Norman and to yourself. 

Norman's sunflowers are very interesting - he could have won the smallest as well as the tallest, they are such a range in sizes  :)

Squash64:
He planted the row from one of last year's seed heads and some only grew to about 2ft.  They were supposed to be a 'hedge', dividing his plot and didn't have any special treatment.  He was as shocked as anyone to see how they grew.  :o

That's him - he was being a bit shy today and wouldn't strip off for the photo.  ::)

In this weather?  I don't blame him  ;D

saddad:
Did you have one this year?
Just been looking in here and shocked to find so few posts ... almost nothing this year...

Squash64:
No, we didn't have one this year.

People still grew them but for some unknown reason, I never got around to organising the judging!
