Sunflower Competition 2012
« on: April 02, 2012, 12:23 »
As in previous years, we are running a just-for-fun sunflower competition.

To be consistent, the rules are the same as for the pumpkin one, but adapted to suit sunflowers. So here they are:


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.  
There is no prize just a note under your username to say you won  

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 show the measurement, with photo, by 31st October, when competition will end.
  
  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!


Right - who's first in to bat?

I will have a go, I wont win i know as i have already seeded the wrong ones to be very big, I went for looks rather than size!! but its the taking part that counts ( that's British talk for I'm going to lose!!)
If Its Not Growing... Its Dead.
