can i play with you all  please  does the smallest plant get a prize too ?

[DD.]

Sorry, the closing date was three weeks ago, but if you want to share your photos, that's fine, it's just that you won't be eligible for one of the huge prizes!

I lost about 4 of them to the wind. 1 plant had two shoots and produced 2 flowers at about 4ft. The biggest one we got was approx 5' 6". Its now going to seed, so I think I will just leave it now for the birds.

I tried that a couple of years ago, then last year a huge field full....they grow huge amounts commercially here. But I did take a couple of pics for fun today in the garden as the wind has got up and they might be storm damaged. I hope the chooks will like them in winter, we seem to have rather a lot. OH is 6'2''



These aren't quite so big

Florence won our family one at a piddling 6 foot, Harry came second. Mummy and daddy last mine turned out to be a squash

Mine are only about six feet and beginning to flower so I have not hope and they definitely would not win a beauty contest.

Always next year must be one of the most common gardeners quotes.

This made it to 8'4" before the weight of the head started to bring it down. 

I have 1 still going with a slightly smaller head probably pushing 8'6" but it's missing a bit of flower.

Were still working out how we can measure our 'beast' it's got to be over 8 feet and has still to flower. (Plus we have to work out how to upload pictures from phones to here).
