Inspired by Melinda’s Growing Challenge, I decided to host a small growing challenge here as well: who can grow the biggest sunflower?

A contest isn’t complete without prizes, so I’m working on that. If you have any suggestions or have anything to add to the prize pot, please leave a comment!

I’m going to keep a list of who is participating as well as keep track of growth, so send in your measurements every now and again.

It would also be nice to know exactly how you are growing your sunflowers (i.e. type of soil used, watering schedule, fertilizers, etc.)

Please leave a comment if you want to join or if you have any suggestions.

Get ready to grow!
