My sunflowers are 9.5 ft tall already! YAY ME!!!! Wait... YAY NATURE!!!

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

Super stoked that my sunflowers are kicking so much ass this year. I enter my sunflowers and produce in general into the Spokane County Fair. Last year I received a check for $113 for all my entries. The sunflowers are worth up to 100 points each and last year each point was worth about $0.03 each. If you are not entering your local county fair, you just might be missing out on a "free" paycheck!

WOW those are really tall very impressive

Great plants...mine got washed away!

uh oh. that sucks! The east has gotten a bit much rain this year it seems.

And they haven't developed the flower head yet, most impressive!

They are a tall strain to begin with but I am surprised they are still not flowered yet! They are American Giant or Mongolian Giant Sunflowers.

These are some strong plants!

Thankfully this year, yes they are! Other years my "planned" plantings have done garbage, yet my volunteer sunflowers have done SUPER! Just odd to me. This year my planned plantings are dong quite well.

Yes indeed they have! Cheers to many more successful plantings!
