This is the tallest sunflower we have ever had. It is nearly nine and a half feet tall! We didn't even plant sunflowers this year but, thanks to a pair of chipmunks, sunflowers came up in odd and sundry places all over the property. This one is growing right next to one of the compost beds, which may account for its size. In fact, it is so big it shades some of the tomatoes. Since they are still struggling to ripen, Paul is threatening to take down the sunflower so the tomatoes have a better chance. I keep holding him off but it may not work much longer. So, I thought I'd share it with you before it's gone. Isn't it amazing?
We haven't seen the chipmunks since June. I think this sunflower ate them.
