2020 Sunflower competition - Small chilli - 19-05-2020
Who’s up for a little sunflower growing?
Categories
Largest head
Most heads on one plant
Largest leaf (Width, at widest point, not stalk to tip )
Smallest sunflower
Rules
There must be photos
There will not be a tallest category because I’m not being held responsible for you falling off ladders, through greenhouses and breaking you precious tomatoes or your neck, while trying to measure it

Sorry, I only do tallest and doesn't need to be measured, just a photo.
I have five plants grown from my mixed bird seed.

I have 4 growing from my wild bird seed mix.

Maybe I will. I've grow some sunflowers for my nextdoor neighbour to grow up a newly installed panel fence. The ground is incredibly dry and I don't really have any faith they'll get watered regularly, but having said that it'll be a laugh. One of the two types is called Russian Giant.

I have 6 growing from the bird seed. I'll have to pamper them a bit
RE: Sunflower competition - Vinny - 19-05-2020
Mine is from B&M's cheap big bag of bird seed
RE: Sunflower competition - Bren - 19-05-2020

from saved seeds.

Mine are popping up all over the place all on there own (mainly in completely the wrong place).

If I sow some now (I think I have some dwarf sunflower seeds), when will they be flowering? I'm hoping to move in early to mid August and no way I can take a sunflower with me!
RE: Sunflower competition - Small chilli - 19-05-2020
It’ll probably flower just as your about to move or just after.
Just looked back at my sunflowers photos from last year. Flowering was in full swing by 1st august.
So it’s not looking good for you and sowing them a little later. But if they’re mini ones they might grow faster.
Give it a go anyway
