Now that is freakin' tall. It's the leaning tower of sunflower! I grew all my sunflowers from organic seeds, I just hope the birds don't get all the yummy sunflower seeds before I do - cause mmmmm, I want to grind them up into sunflower butter!!! yum. XoXo
I know a guy who farms them for his own personal snack supply in Kansas. He said you want to rotate the crops every year because they leech a lot of nutrients from the soil.
He's a professional farmer and I've never seen any of his that tall. That or you're getting shorter ;)
HA! I am totally not getting shorter, even though I am getting older. Hopefully I will have a little snack supply myself! I will have to keep in mind the rotation for next year, cause if they suck alot of nutrients out, this baby sucked it dry. Maybe put a little dried up cow poop in that spot too.
