WAB 2009 Tallest Sunflower Competition?

[Stewy]

After the (sort of) success of last years tallest sunflower competition this is the new and improved 2009 comp, no prizes or anything just for a bit of fun and if nothing else the bee's, hoverflies etc will love you........

So anyone up for it then? I will be growing "Russian Giant" seeds which I have some spare so if anyone want's a few then PM your address and I will send you some. I've also noticed that there is a variety called "Kong" which might be worth a shot too!!!!!!!!

Rules:

Grow the biggest Sunflower that you can!!

I am growing Stewy's Russian Giants.
They are planted in peat pots and in the greenhouse.

Bring it on

I picked some seeds up today, so I'd like to join in too please.

Is there an 'end' date or does it just continue until they've all stopped growing?

Hi FatGit, no end date as such, once your BEAST has reached it's maximum size then take a measurement and post it on here and when we have all the results then we can crown the 2009 champion!! ie me!!

think I might have to get some of those! Says on my packet of Russian Giants that they grow 2.4 to 3m (8-10ft). Mine reached 6.4ft last year in a fairly small pot.

looking forward to the competition. What was last years record?

[Stewy]

11ft 5".......

I'm sure we can break that record this year!!

I need to get some chicken poo!!!!!!
