Now that's allotment of sunflowers!

A couple of weeks back we took a walk to the allotments to see if anyone was growing sunflowers - they didn't disappoint!

The owners of this plot gave us permission to share them here on the blog.

We're sure you'll agree they look amazing - lovely flowers, and check out those nice thick stems!

So Far, So Good!

Our sunflowers are 6 weeks old this weekend!

Currently, our tallest is 142cm (56 inches) tall, but remember we're not entering the competition, so if yours are shorter than that, don't worry.

If yours are taller though, well done!

Feel free to send us a photo and we'll post it here so everyone can see how well you're doing.

You're also welcome to share any handy tips you might have, even if you're not taking part in the competition yourself - if you have some sunflower growing expertise that you want to share, let us know.

And remember, if you're already growing your own sunflowers you're welcome to enter them.

Entry is totally free and you get great prizes, plus bragging rights for an entire year if you win!
