Grower Steve

Rochester, NY

So far we have 32 competitors representing 6 countries, USA, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, France and UK. Within the US there are 17 states being represented. 23 tall SF entries, 23 Wide SF and 19 Tall corn entries and a couple undecideds. I'm going to keep the contest open until 3/31. The rules are pretty simple, post a picture or two of your plants into your diary at least once a week and have your plant(s) measured at an official weigh-off or take them to your local official department of weights and measures. After the last weigh-off, usually mid October, I'll tally up all the results and we'll have our winners. Maybe one of us will even break a record. Spring can't come quick enough!!

Grower Steve Great for you to be bringing a contest forward. This is my first year, but with the seeds you and I previously discussed, I may as well take a chance, one never knows, please include my name for tall and wide sunflowers. novar dave
