That gives me two weeks to build my Raspberry Pi watering system. I'll join in if I can do it in time.

Any limit to the number of plants we grow for the purposes of the grow off?

Having read up on how to grow giant sunflowers I have discovered that I am at a distinct disadvantage as I have the *wrong* soil :-( I shall still have a go at growing some though :-)
