After seeing that sunflowers can be grown in trashcans, Henry and I have decided we want to start a new challenge for anyone interested. This would help increase our understanding of sunflowers, and maybe increase their overall height.

The challenge is as follows: can a 20+ foot sunflower be grown in 20 gallons? We will be offering a $200 Grand-Prize to the tallest sunflower grown this way next year.

The rules are simple:
▪you can grow as many as you want
▪your pot must be 20 gallons or less
▪you have to post your 20 gallon setup
▪drainage holes are allowed, just don't grow over tilled soil.

Anyone interested?

This sounds like a lot of fun. I really enjoyed growing sunflowers for the first time this year, and I only got to 12'.

Oh but one caveat, no one is allowed to get hurt. It's against the rules, right?

On a cliff in the desert

So no using rickety or makeshift steps/ladders?

On a cliff in the desert

Do we have to wear helmets and masks when climbing steps/ladders?

If you need helmets, I'd say that's a good thing! Glad to see people wanna try it. The hardest part has been keeping the bucket upright in strong wind
