So, if Widget is 32 inches tall

Spotty and Twiglet have worked out that that makes their sunflower.......
HUGE!

Widget's Measured have you???

Well, here are our sunflowers, growing well and flowering.......

However, here are the other two plants - planted at the same time but when I transplanted them they ended up with the raspberry canes rather than near the conservatory.....what a difference.

I am beginning to think that it be slow but steady that wins this race, who knows.

If you are in the competition, I sent an email last week about measuring but in case you didn't get it......please measure to the highest point of the flower - petals and all from the soil once your sunflower is in full flower. I will close the competition when we have all the measurements in.

A few measurements from some other growers - abizar is 1m 63 and sonny is 2m 17.....and some have just given up the ghost.

Widget has been measuring as well.........I think this is the case of the attack of the 50ft bunny or in this case as the bunny maker says "No one knows that you are really a 32" bunny, Widget, which makes that sunflower - oooo, about 72". Not that he is cheating again or anything!

Widget really, it is the taking part that counts and it is all for charity. You are really rather competative. If you want to see what else Widget gets up to check out his blog...yes the bunny has his own blog!

Talking of charity - a huge thank you to all who have taken part as we have raised nearly £80 for Macmillan Cancer. Thank you all.

Naughty Widget

Do we disqualify Widget or give him extra points for effort and ingenuity?

I think we need to get the bunny maker to explain the rules - it's the tallest sunflower Widget, not the soonest to flower!

BTW you can become a friend of Widget the sockbunny on facebook and keep up with his antics - go on you know you want to!

Sunflower update

Well, they are growing so that's a start :)

No pics of our efforts I am afraid. We had Diggy Bear to stay and he helped measure but I cannot find the photo anywhere!

So, here are a few measurements to keep you all going:

Grubby Gang - 1.5cm

Growing Pains - 7cm and 4cm

Abizara - 16cm

One More time - 17cm

Boris and Billy - 4.5cm and 6cm

Us - 24.5 cm

Dollie - picture below - 7cm and 11cm

Widget's are 7.5cm - you can check out his antics here. He also has a facebook fanpage if you want to be up to date with the latest bunny news from The Warren.

However, these all on the rather short side compared with sonny sunflower who is 50cm, yes 50cm - I think he has had a growth spurt!

Back soon with some more growth updates.

And they're off

Well, our sunflower seeds have sprouted - have yours?

Widget's have as well. You can become a facebook friend of Widget here if you want to keep on track of his antics.

Wonder how big they will be in a week or so?

All the best people.......

And bunnies are joining in with the great sunflower competition. So far it looks like we have 37 entries - thats £74 for Macmillan Cancer (if you haven't paid yet - pay me! - if you don't pay you won't be in with a chance of winning the prize). Here you can see Widget planting his seeds.

Let's hope the seeds sprouts - ours like many others have had a swimming lesson. Anyone make armbands for sunflower seeds?
