Well you guys, August 1st! Can you even believe how time is FLYING???
well FOR ME I feel it..

Anyways, My Sunflower Garden is still very tall, yet it is very dry now. I do not water my garden any more after this time now. Since many seeds are now ready and if some fall and im still watering you know what will happen. lol

Well everything is still actually blooming and it will not STOP blooming until our first FREEZE, Yes, those COMMON SUNFLOWERS will keep multiplying I TELL U!
its funny to watch since they usually come out deformed...? ODD...lol

Yes 18ft!! i wish i could of took a picture, but I just simply didnt have the time to get my ladder and go into the forest and wrestle through the brush lol..
I will take another picture but with my hand in the head just for a preview how how HUGE this head has got

OK My interest is peaked! When do you plant them by seed? Do you keep a patch growing and they just reseed? What is the best soil to plant them in?

I think I want to try growing them next year!
:)

I am loving these pictures!

Great flowers. I love sunflowers cuz they make everyone smile (including the squirrels). I think I have a couple of Black Sunflower seeds left it you'd like them Just send me your address. Gail

Sunflowers are so beautiful. I read that in Kansas in August there is a Sunflower festival with 3,000 acres of sunflowers to see.
