My tallest sunflower is blooming now. OK, it's only about four feet high, and the flower is only about 4" across, but it still makes me smile.
I'll attach a picture I took yesterday. Unfortunately,I got all excited and toot the photo before I watered, so the leaves are a bit droopy.
Do you get excited when your garden grows?

It looks ok to me
Our sunflowers for what ever reason never seem to get that far
So we gave up
Our garden is growing really well just now and it's about time I took some pictures and posted about it

We have a problem with snails.
They are climbers
They even climb onto raspberry plants and do damage

@Ineeddentures We have snails here too. They were more of a problem in Oakland (by the Bay),relative to "out here" where it is warmer and drier.

I do not have a garden. The only plant I have is a Christmas cactus. Last year there were no flowers at all. They seemed to start growing but then they fell off. I think that was the only year where no flowers bloomed.

@TheHorse I guess the fact that they are hard to kill is a good thing lol.

Have you ever tried harvesting the seeds from the sunflowers you grow? I always loved the part where I could eat something from my gardens. 
Congrats on the beautiful sunflower!
