Tallest sunflower and largest head challenge

16/17 inches is a nice size, i wish i had one

 

Now come on @Jiffy ,

You don't want to hurt Martins feelings do you , it's actually 17 and a half inches

 

Its a little cracker its flowering on every leaf

 

Do you know something Martin. I've more or less gone off Pansies because everybody seems to stick to one colour put out in little rows or containers, but, seeing yours like that as they should be ( I believe) it's like a little box of jewels. Well done

 

5/8 this morning it looks like a pigeon landed on it and snapped it ive tapped it up but I think its

 

Its my own fault really John, i was supporting it at the top of the cane, it had been growing that fast it took the support past the cane i had been meaning to double cane it, i have now the horse has bolted

I have loads in but this one was a good 3ft above the other tall ones its only a bit of fun but i was looking after it like a new born child .

 

At least you have given it a rather dashing red nappy to wear

 

, I don't know what next door neighbour thought at 7am this morning M, me shouting swear words at a pigeon i even through my tape measure at it

 

Maybe he thought you were turning into some kind of pigeon fancier but realising that isn't quite the technique generally used to train them in the art of "homing" ?

 

After this I might do M .










Joking aside i wouldn't hurt it .

 

Nor would I ....




... I'd EAT it!!!!

 

This is how they started out...lonely, forgotten about, dried up, leggy little orphans that I threw in the ground not expecting them to survive

Check them out now...
Still no flowers as yet, haven't measured them either, but they're tall Will measure next time am at plot.

 

10 foot 4 inches this morning

 

My lone giant single flowered on Tues!
