I Think our Sunflowers need to go to weight watchers they are getting so fat around the stems.

Measured last night. Up to my armpit, which equates to about 53", but the flower bud is well and truly in evidence in the growing tip, which may or may not be a bad sign  ::)

Latest measurement.

1.62m which is about 5'3" in old money.  :)

Comes up to my nose. Got another 2 a few inches behind but looking strong. They were planted on the east face of the shed so have not been in the sun all day but another couple of weeks and they should catch the sun a bit later.
Anyone else measured theirs lately ?

We'll see come the day.  :D

I've got a few runts in another garden that are about 2ft or so but I don't think they'll come to much. Grown more for the wildlife than anything.
