I love to grow sunflowers but this year's crop has been a little disappointing. The few that I grew from seed that survived the seedling stage are quite weedy and not very tall. So I was delighted to see that my fellow Warham street gardener who grows at the Wightman Road end has raised a lovely crop in the old tree pit that he 'looks after' outside his own delightful little corner.
How's your sunflower crop this year?
How about sharing your pictures of sunflowers in street, front or back gardens below.

Ooh, That may have been one of the seedlings me and the boy grew and donated to the plant stall. If it is, your sunflower has done much better than the ones that I kept back (admittedly the not so sellable ones). One of mine has managed to get to about a metre high and I'm waiting for it to flower. I've done better in the past :)
Thank you for posting the lovely photos of my sunflowers and my own made little gardens in the front and back of my property!! i take pride in looking after my crops all year round.. A lot of children pass by and take photos along with passing traffic.. However unfortunately there are the odd bunch of disrespectful people that like to cut them as they go past for no reason..

Michael, your guerilla sunflowers and the rest of your garden give me much pleasure as I pass by, thank you. I don't understand why people have to cut the flowers either but I think its a case of 'out planting' them and just keeping going until maybe they appreciate it too.
Michael, more thanks from me - I've been admiring your sunflowers for a long time, it's good to know who looks after them so well.
Michael always makes the top end of Warham look worderful and doesn't give in even in the face of vandals (and some of these come in the form of Haringey council with their weed sprayer!)
