Sunflower Competition - day 94
1: 221cm 2: 250cm 3: 249cm 5: 194cm
I’m measuring from the ground to the highest point on the stem, where it bends over for the flower head. Two and three are very close, but three’s head is not fully formed yet so that may change.

They’ve started growing flower heads, so probably won’t get much taller.

Been a while since the last update and they’ve kept growing apace. Number 2 is now taller than me and still no sign of a flower head.

Sunflower Competition - day 16

4 and 5 were eaten. Number 2 had a spare which was donated to 5. The culprits were identified as slugs and snails, so preventative measures have been taken. The clear plastic bottle guards were upgraded and spikes added to the tops, ash and crushed egg shells surround each plant and there is a milk/beer trap.

Sunflower Competition - day 9

Something seems to have eaten some of the seedlings, cut clean through the stems. So I have erected guards made of clear plastic bottles around them.
