So whats the plan DD without giving too much away  :happy:

Grow a sunflower. If its the tallest, it wins. Entries then go into a prettiest competition.

[DD.]

I think Casper is asking about my plan, going on his pumpkin question! 

[arugula]

That might be asking for help,.... or something. But of course, I'm sure it isn't. I haven't had a chance to catch up with that question.

[DD.]

Casper - it's not much of a secret, especially as I've never won in the past, but I sowed mine 2 days ago, 2 seeds per 3" pot in the unheated greenhouse.

I'll pinch out the weakest from each pot, grow on to about 6" high, then harden off and transplant to their final positions.

[DD.]

I can send you some.

The ones marked "dwarf" OK?

[mumofstig]

Thanks sooo much for your kind offer, but I'll buy some to save the stamp

You lot do make me laugh, I planted some about two years ago, they were very big, still have some of those seeds left, dont know how I going to plant them this year with a rescued deaf bulldog x breed tearing roung my garden, but will defo have a go. I would plant them at the lottie but wonder if my neighbours would fume if there was a loss of light. I have a great side with a pathway though so may get away with it. Ta

A couple of sunflowers won't block the light. There's plenty grow them on our site and it's nice to see a splash of colour.

[casper]

Yay the lottie it is then. Mine gets the sun all day long and it might chear the miserable allotment officer up when she inspects the plots in May 

[DD.]

They are, after all, an edible crop!

Hmmm - have I posted this in the wrong forum? 

[casper]

No because the birds get them before us 

[joyfull]

besides a lot of farmers around here plant them to encourage beetles and pollinating insects 

[DD.]

All are welcome!

[DD.]

No, just 50 will see you in good stead for both!
