If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Hi, sorry for delay, my sunflowers were a little dissapointing this year- a mere 7.5foot- biggest on my site but not good enough for here ;-) will try harder next year
Making a start on collecting the seeds now to eat- any tips would be welcome

Enjoyed the competition Jamie, so if you feel like running it again I'll be happy. :D Good idea for the nicest photo poll too. :)

Congratulations Wtog  :happy:

Jamie thank you from me too for running the competition.
I would never have grown any sunflowers if it wasn't for the competition and considering it was my first time to grow them I was well chuffed with my results.

See you all again next year  8) 8)
