Please post one picture + measurement of your sunflowers in the "Sunflower Results" thread. I'll judge them after September 1st.

Still no idea what the prize will be :D

Mines fell over   :(

Paula should remember to actually tie it to the fence after getting the ties out of the shed  ::)

It was me I think.  :wub:

But only if it's a cash prize.

If not, then I'll accept that I may not have won.  ::)

 I think it would be nice if we have a vote similar to the photography competitions where everyone is allowed 1 vote and maybe Aunt Sally could put everyone's pictures in a list with size underneath the pictures ?

We could have 2 votes perhaps for 2 different catagories?

What do you think ?

I think it's a massive amount of work to set up  ???
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I think it should simply be the tallest, taken on trust, as reported on this thread.

Or me.

Whichever you think is the fairest  :)

Oh crimes, i still need to do this.

Settled on a prize. It's going to be either a DVD or something fancy handmade.

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!
