Well, mine are growing, but nowhere near as big as Lotus' one.
Some out the back in the raised bed, some shoved in a plastic tub with about a million other things and a couple out the front in a wooden tub with about two million other things.
Hopefully, they will continue to grow.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll

Mine are in the ground with copper collars around them and the canes. I've no idea how it got to it.
It must've been a lumberjack slug/smail as it took one massive bite out of one side of the stem and then an inch up took another bite out of the other side and the head just collapsed.

I think Lotus eater has been feeding his/her Sunflowers banned substances.
Are sunflowers supposed to be self supporting ? I have had a couple of my small ones keel over in strong winds....Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0 -
No support for me, they seem to be supporting themselves just fine in the soil even in windy conditions!0
