The family sunflower competition has now begun in earnest. Who will win the coveted prize for tallest plant by the end of the summer? I have the disadvantage of having the smallest pot with less soil (the green one on the left). I have the double disadvantage that one of my dear girls (was it Emilia?) managed to drop my seeds out of the pot a few days ago. If you read this don’t tell my lovely girls that I’ve just read a good tip from a gardening website. Apparently if you use a nitrogen-based fertiliser followed by potash (tomato food) when the buds begin to appear then the sunflower will reach an even greater height. Oooo, I feel the urge! May the best flower win! We’ve all got a tough challenge ahead if we want to beat our joint effort last year (below).
