Daughter and I are having a sunflower race.
We selected a seed each from the same packet, placed in identical pots containing the same compost. They are in the same place next to each other to make this an evenly-run race.
Mine is growing at the speed of dark whereas hers is just getting taller and taller… I swear you can see the darned growing!
It’s not really a race you can cheat at really, is it?
Having said that, I wouldn’t frown at anyone who knew some short-cuts… or tall-cuts… so don’t feel like you have to hold back any advice here :-))

Talk to it?
I've been shouting "Grow, you stunted excuse of a sunflower" at it for weeks now!
On reflection, maybe taking a gentler approach might reap some reward ;-)

Would Miragle Gro be cheating?

Why am I thinking of Barbara Goode when she and Tom were doing the 'controlled' experiment to see if talking to peas will make them grow better!
I'm afraid I might end up 'doing a Margot' on this sunflower... lol
