Sunflower Competition 2015
« on: May 13, 2015, 18:05 »
In truth I've been in two minds this year about running the compy, but seeing as the question as to what is happening has been asked, I'll give it another go.

I'm using the same rules as last year and it's no use having a wobbly afterwards if you've not adhered to them. Read them before entering!

Apologies for it being late, hopefully quite a few will have sown the seeds as a matter of course, but it's not too late anyway.

I'll copy/paste the rules from previous years which seem to have been OK, but with a slight amendment regarding declaring height........

The winner will be the tallest sunflower rather than the widest head.
There will also be a poll at the end for the best photo.   

At present, the only prize is kudos, you can have your profile amended to show that you "done good"!

The rules.....

  Newbies can register but must have 50 posts before end of competition.
  Names have to be registered by 30th June to count.
  Please post pictures showing the measurement, with full length photo,  by 31st October, when  the competition will end.

New - If you have difficulty posting a photo showing both the tape measure and plant, due to the height of the sunflower and the lack of 2 pairs of arms, please post a photo of the flower alongside an object to compare the height with (this could be yourself!). The precise height must have been measured, not guessed - how you do it is up to you! Please be honest in your declaration.
 
 
Anyone who disagrees with Moderators will be disqualified.

Please post on this thread only to register or comment on your progress. Asking for advice is acceptable, but bear in mind those giving it are trying to beat you! Waffling posts will be deleted!


Right - who's first in to bat?

Me too please - although I'm not sure what varieties I'm growing  :unsure: because it's a mixed packet of seeds
