Mount Pleasant Community "4th Annual"Sunflower Growing Contest
The challenge is on again this year to see who can grow the tallest sunflower in Mount Pleasant. Plant your favorite variety, or encourage the volunteer that has magically appeared in your garden.
Planting tips: Colin at Plantation recommends using "Giant Sunflowers Sunzilla".Plant in full sun. As these giants grow, they need plenty of water and nutrients. And don’t forget to stake them as needed.
Sow outdoors in mid-May when ground is workable. They may also be started indoors,but do not like to be transplanted. Use a peat pot that can be placed directly into the soil.
Seeds and prizes for the 2 tallest sunflowers grown (only one prize per household) have been generously donated by Plantation Garden Centre. Other prizes to be confirmed at a later date. Judging (measuring) is tentatively set to take place on the weekend of September 11th and 12th.
Brighten up a spot of your yard, a section of Mount Pleasant and our little corner of the world.
Contest is open to all Mount Pleasant residents. If you don't have your own seeds please call or email Sherrie or Michelle.
