This year's competition is officially over!

Winners were announced yesterday at the Balcombe Gardeners' Association Autumn Show.

First place set a new competition record for tallest sunflower, with an absolute monster measuring 354cm!

Second place came in at a massive 340cm.

Third place a very respectable 312cm - for those of you who were at the show, this was the sunflower that was on display.

We also gave away a couple of Great Growing! awards for people who really got into the spirit of the competition.

The Richard Garman Cup went to the tallest sunflower grown by a child - an impressive 210cm!

And of course the Nicest Flower award, which also went to a child entry.

We also had lots of other great entries!

Thanks again to everyone who took part, it's only the second year and it's been another great competiton!
