Sunflowers!

My sunflowers are ten feet tall.



Rabbit manure is awesome.



I was having such a difficult time keeping the slugs from eating the starts, I planted some in this large, black pot. Unfortunately, too often it would get too hot and dry out the dirt. Several times I would come home to find the stalks nearly dead, drooping down to the ground. I was surprised each time they'd bounce back.




Now they look like strange aliens with their curved stalks crawling and reaching out of the pot.

 
In the backyard, TEN FEET HIGH!
