How tall are your sunflowers?

This is a sister post to my sister's post over on Sleepy Dog Farm.  They posted a picture of Lynn standing next to her ~10 foot tall sunflower and posed the question in the post Title.  So here's mine:


At first glance, one might conclude that Lynn and Nora's beast takes the prize, but there are a couple things to consider.  My sunflower is past it's prime and thus the head has started to droop.  That's taking away about a foot of height.  The other thing is that I'm about a foot taller than Lynn.

I'd say they are pretty darn close.

At any rate, I think we'll both have a sunflower seed stash large enough to get us through most of the winter.

  1. I'd have to agree. They look pretty darn close. But what happened to all their bottom leaves? They look nudey!

  2. I just went and pulled all the stalks. The leaves were there, but dead. The cuke trellises were directly in front of them and I guess the lack of sunlight on the lower portions killed all those leaves.
