Water and Sunlight The Roolz :- 1 . Start Date - Saturday 18th March 2. End Date - Sunday Sept 10th (kids back at school, no one to look after them anymore - before it gets too windy) 3. Seeds - any Variety of your choice , any colour, any creed , any religion. Just get some seeds and get growing !!!! 4. Monthly progress photos to be posted in the first week of every month inbetween to include your best and worst plants 5. Any disasters must be reported to the forum so the rest of us can feel better about ourselves and laugh........ahem, I mean feel sorry for you Winner is the person who reports the Tallest sunflower at any point between the start and end dates. As an added incentive to all you wannabeeees - I will donate £5 to charity for every Fetchie that beats me (subject to a max of £25) to Team Ella - The Sunflower Army.

And remember the late starters will still be going long after the early starters have peaked Plant waves of them - 2 weeks apart and see which go the tallest
