Giant Sunflowers at Scotney Castle Credit: Credit : Margaret Read

One of the highlights of my summer is being sent pictures of small children standing next to very large sunflowers that they've grown. And this year they just keep on coming!

Our fine warm and settled September weather has meant that they are not only still thriving but still growing too (the sunflowers not the children... although...!).

Here are the latest lot and if you can do better, please send a photo to meridianweather@itv.com or tweet me @SimonParkinITV if you're on Twitter.
