Tallest sunflower and largest head challenge

I've got forecast for my nearest town of 5degC on Sat morning and 4degC Sun morning, my outskirts of village plot can be 4degC below those forecast temps, so despite planning to sow in a small amount of seed compost in the middle of a manure enriched pit with a car tyre on top (to keep a little warmer, provide a dry 'ring' for slug pellets and something to throw some frost protection over), plus place a 2 litre water bottle cloches over the seeds, I'm now thinking about delaying sowing for a few days.

Hi Richard ,

Does it help them if you " fry " them first

PS..... Glad I beat @martin-f on this one for a change

 

Lol try silly phones dose what it wants some times

 

Bit of update photo on my best ones so far the level is for size reference it's 430 MM about 16 inch

 

I'm way behind you Richard

 

It looks really well though zigs nice and thick steam and good size leafs

 

If I join all my 200 together they wont be as big as them, come on now Rich give us a chance and start again, they will make lovely compost ,



On a serious note they look great pal keep them going .

 

Looking good Zigs, its a oss up if my petunias are bigger than the sunflowers .

 

Sowed some sunflowers the other day and they're just starting to come up now, I won't be going for the tallest sunflower though I'm planning on medium sized multiheaded examples

I sowed, Irish Eyes (thank you Van Meuwen!), Vanilla Ice, Valentine & Velvet Queen

 

That was my excuse after seeing Richards plants, you best come up with another one .

 

Hmmm... I'll have to have a think on that

 

How about you go for: "The Prettiest"? and with your selection, you could be on to a winner

 

That sounds good
