Wow 🤩 my tallest was a few years ago at almost 14’ but sadly we had a wind storm that took it down 😢. Squirrels 🐿️ tend to decimate the heads too but that’s nature. Have a super week and fab flowers, Ali ☁️🇨🇦
@@myrustygarden hey Ali Great to hear from you. Yes as gardeners it feels like everything is against us lol It's been so hot here this week. Today was the hottest temperature recorded this year. 34°C It was really sticky outside. It's cooling down not at 6:30 pm so I will have to get watering if I hope to keep any of our veggies Funny enough we almost lost one of our sunflowers today with all the wind and thunderstorms we had over the past 24 hours. Had to run out and actually try to tie it up as best as I could and it seemed to be hanging in there at the moment.
@@myrustygarden indeed. It's been a wet year Wetter than normal but we have had a good few weeks of super hot weather. No complaints here Great for drying laundry 😁
And still they are nowhere near the world record after checking online 😭 This is about a third of the way to the world record. I'm still pretty thrilled though 😉
Wow almost ?M tall is amazing (put ? As dont want to give it away) Can i ask the variety ?? You deffo need to save the seeds feom ur two tallest plants.
Hey Tracey 👋🏾 I know. It's Amazing. Can you believe that the two tallest ones are right outside our window se we can see them from our kitchen window and from upstairs. All the others are in the rare offset garden and the are half that height. To be honest, I don't even know what variety they are. I had a few different packs from a couple different stores but they all set giant sunflowers. I will most certainly save as much seeds as I can. And who knows I might even send some out to someone some of you lucky lot. Sunflower sizes can be so random but one thing I know is you've got to be in it to win it so to speak 😉👏🏾
@TheMalcolms7 exactly. I grew Mongolian sun flowers and they were supposed to be giant. The seeds were massive but the sunflowers were average 🤣 Youz have done amazing. A lady up my street was jn the paper w few years ago growing a tall sunflowe. I'm sure it was 11 ft.
Lovely indeed. I will try and save the seeds in the hope of planting them next year. Time will tell if they will germinate next year. The other plant has now flowered too 🌻🙌🏾
What do you guys think of our sunflowers 🌻
really beautiful sunflower indeed
I know right. It's crazy as I've tried growing them this tall before but with no success. These are by far the tallest 🙌🏾
@@TheMalcolms7 this is your year
This is amazing 😍
I tried growing some a few years ago with very little success. You've done an amazing job.
It's really difficult to know if they will grow tall or not. Just keep trying. Use rich fertilised soil and water well in a well sunny area.

@AAHomeGardening they really are. So many bees come to visit them. It's a joy to see them come and go 🐝
