So After this mornings events, I went out to eat a banana in relative peace and I took the camera with me. The tall sunflower is about 11ft tall.

I love sunflowers. Those are cool looking. Are those the american giant ones? I planted some seeds of those but they never came up
I don't know what I did wrong.

Pretty! I love sunflowers. Completely random - I live in the sunflower state.

Those are pretty! My grandma grows them every summer, they are HUGE!!!!! I am growing some.... but they look PATHETIC! I water & fertilize them... I gave some of the same seeds to my grandma and hers look pitiful too. They were Mammoth & Grey Stripe. On the other hand, the rest of my garden is doing wonderful! (First year gardening) I LOVE SUMMER!

edit-mine are about chest high, if even, and no thicker than a pencil, and they look like they are about to bloom, I already see yellow petals! I am almost at the point of digging them up, since I have to drag the hose all the way to the front yard just to water 'charlie brown' sunflowers, lol, but out of sheer curiosity I think they will stay.

These were grown from seeds that I ordered from the Burpee catalog. They are living up to their name of "Giant Sunflowers". Mine are taller than everybody else's around here so far probably because I started them inside in late March.
