    They're as tall as the roof!! 5 months ago

    The sunflowers have opened – so big and beautiful. They’ve grown so tall they’re touching the roof of my house!!
    They’ve been very low maintenance, and look so cheerful! I cant wait to do this again next year! =)



    Almost there... 6 months ago

    The shoots are over a meter and a half to 2 meters tall now! There are even little green ‘buds’ that have formed ready for the flowers to bloom. =)



    Growing tall 7 months ago

    The sprouts are about half a meter tall now. Its interesting to watch them grow because I planted two different types of seeds. One type is about half the size of the other at the moment. Hopefully this will result in a nice effect!



    They've already sprouted! 8 months ago

    They’ve sprouted! They’ve sprouted!! So exciting!



    Planted the seeds today! 8 months ago

    I planted the seeds today!! In a sunny garden bed up against a wall. Good spot.
    Should be a while before i get actual flowers – but at least i’ve set the ball rolling. Cant wait! =)



    Soil is prepared 8 months ago

    One month since i started this goal and the garden bed has been prepared for where the seeds will be planted.

    I just need some spare time to start planting and away they will grow! =)



    Seeds 10 months ago

    Bought the seeds yesterday.. but i’ll have to wait till the weather is a little bit warmer till i plant them. Maybe a month or so. =)

    my sunflowers are tall and alive! 11 months ago

    i have 11 growing that i started from seeds. they are between 4 feet and almost seven feet tall. i can’t stop giggling every time i see them. they are becoming the main topics of my conversation every time they grow a little more.

    no pictures yet.



    Flangerella-roo is looking at her goals

    at least 3 are out in bloom, so this is done 12 months ago

    next year I will put them in large individual pots and bring them on inside to get a few big ones

    but I am glad some have flowered and not all of them have broken off in the wind



    Flangerella-roo is looking at her goals

    I grew some last year and they got to be a few feet tall, but were generally eaten my slugs and snails 15 months ago

    I have planted the seeds I collected from some of the seed heads last year and a few are just breaking the surface now.

    I have also got a packet from last year called allsorts and bought some ‘single giant’ seeds ready to plant now.

    It is blowing a hooly outside at the moment with the sun shining bright

    If my potting shed is still standing after my evening meal I will try and find the seeds I want to plant tonight

    Mmmm may have to look up when you are supposed to sew according to the moon phases cos I have heard it really does have an affect
