    I have a competition with my next door neighbour to see who will grow the largest sunflower.

    Useing turkey manure and occasional miracle grow we both seem to be doing quite well and about the same height so far, I need the edge any ideas please?

    Snap his in half at 3 in the morning? :thumbsup:

    On a serious note, I have no idea.. mine are about 20 inches tall but I've really not paid much attention to them, if I'm totally honest.
