Jimny, if you weren't so far away I would borrow your sous gardener. look at that sunflower, it looks like she has the green thumbs and fingers! Mine aren't half as tall yet.

I've still got my 5 sunflowers one got battered in yesterdays rain so its being propped up with a cane.

One has just hit 7 foot, and the others are not far behind. Tee Hee
Have not had so much fun for years

If it makes you even happier, Bob, yours is taller than mine - and always will be.




I haven't sown any - keep forgetting to.

[Bren In Pots]

I'm just happy mine haven't been eaten by slugs. yet.

Monsoon season here - I'm wishing it had been a "Rain-flower" competition this year.

PS and whoever is doing the Rain Dance will they please cease and desist for a bit.

[veggiechicken]

Maybe we should be growing Umbrella Plants instead!

[nickdub]

odd language English, "Umbrella " suggests something to give shade like a parasol, whereas the French "parapluie" (roughly = against rain) is more of worthwhile description in this neck of the woods.

8ft after the monsoon.

Mine are about a meter tall so far. Rainy weather slowed them down a bit

Also noticed today that ants had set up shop farming aphids on the growing tips. So I blasted them off with water from a spray gun

I'm going to have to figure out how to post pictures on the forum soon I guess

My first one is going to be out soon.

Mine aren't either they're around 2ft tall so a long way to go.

No flowers coming on mine. The tallest are around 4 foot tall now, and I think they'll be late, but respectable.

[veggiechicken]

Mine are still in the packet.
