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  :)

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

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!
