Update 17.06.24. Tim took the tallest Sunflower prize coming in at 146 cm. Impressive.

Alice took the unusual category prize for her non-standard measurements

"one sunflower up to her tummy button and one up to the top of her welly."

Now it's down to fertiliser and slug management. Next review end of July.
