| | | Tallest Sunflower Competition? Would anyone be up for a WAB tallest Sunflower competion? No prizes or nothing just for a bit of fun, you don't need much space, just a nice sunny corner in the garden would do. We could then post height's and pics possibly of the beasts once they are MASSIVE to see who is the winner.
I'll be sowing a few Russian Giant ( Helianthus annuus) seeds at the weekend to get mine started. I think it would be more fair if we all used the same Sunflower seeds ie Russian Giant. I've got a pack of 60 so if anyone wants a few seeds then give me a shout and I'll post some to you, if not then have a look in your garden centre or on the web.
Anyway, it was just an idea.

In a sunny spot, which rules me out being in Scotland

| | | re: Tallest Sunflower Competition? I'm in.
By pure fluke we had already picked up some seeds and they are already on their way to the sky.
First time i've grown them and not sure what to expect - I'm not really a gardener
