My first attempt at growing giants this year went.. okay. I found this video well after they were over 3 feet tall, and I didn't use any fertilizer nor had I spaced them correctly. 6" apart at best. I can't wait to apply this to them next year! My current sunflower is starting to make a head and it's about 8'. "Russian Giant" supposedly from a garden store. I will definitely be buying your seeds and appropriately gardening next year!

AWESOME!!! I started a Sunflower Height Competition in Claremont, CA, in 2021 and announced (on a Facebook community group for our small city) that first prize is a certificate & a crisp $2 bill. Second prize is a sympathetic shrug, & third prize is a glare for making me walk or drive over. There has been some good-natured trash talking & it got off to a fun start. Then there were about 6 weeks where many of our plants were being eaten & looked like they had weak stems, but now I have over 100 sunflower plant surrounding every side of our house with about 70 in the front yard. A few are now about 8-feet tall & still growing. (Note to self: Try Renee's {Titan} Garden Seeds next year!)

This was very helpful - I started Burpee Mammoth seeds in cardboard egg cartons and then planted the seedlings 6 inches apart as noted on the package. I did not thin them and now that they are almost 5 feet tall, they are very crowded and vying against each other for light and I can only assume they are also vying for root space below ground. I won't disturb them at this point, but next time, I will follow your method. Thank you for this video.

As much as I would love to start my sunflowers in the ground, I start my sunflower seeds in peat pots. I let them grow until the roots start to poke out and then plant them in ground. The reason I do this is because squirrels and chipmunks like to dig up and devour my seeds and recently emerged seedlings. And now my mammoth sunflowers are at 8 feet and growing. And yes, I do plant them in amended soil, plenty of water and full sun to partial shade. Arkansas can be tough on flowering plants.

And they are still growing. I have about 40 days left to the growing season before first frost. I built a supporting trellis for them. I have never seen raspberries get nearly this large. The patch is very thick just like your sunflower patch. My first year with this raspberry patch.

Wow, that's awesome. I wish I could get just a small one to grow. :) I've got a small garden and planted about 30 pre-sown sunflowers this year, and put about 40 seeds in that same patch as well. Today was the day that the very last one was eaten by slugs. None are left. Aside from the bio-slug-pellets that I use, and the beer traps that I put out I also catch them by hand in the evenings. Usually they add up to about a thousand each year. After about a decade of doing this, I'm finally starting to understand that it takes just 1 surviving snail to take down all sunflowers, or other veggies that I plant. If that single slug comes in at night and eats the stems of 2 or 3 sunflowers, and it repeats that for a week or so, that's quite a score for that little slimey. And I figure he's not alone, but probably visits with a couple friends, and that speeds things up quite a bit. I'm kind of over the frustration of this happening every year, where literally not a single veggie makes it, but I am left with utter amazement about how other people manage to get stuff to grow. I mean, their garden is probably not as infested as mine, but they surely must have a slug or two, and if those eat a couple of seedlings every night, then HOW are other people able to get their stuff to survive?? That really baffles me.

@@pauliewalnuts2007 Thanks for the suggestion. I think those are the bio-pellets that I mentioned.. I'm using those, and with good results, because I regularly find empty shells, but even with all my other methods, there will always be a few that escape, and I'm wondering why those few manage to sabotage my entire garden, while they don't seem to be able to do that with other gardeners. Just out of curiosity, your garden probably has a few slugs, right? If you would plant, let's say 40 sunflowers, how many would you say, grow up to be a large plant? Or whatever crop, radishes or lettuce? What's your average 'survival rate' for crops?

@@TheBushdoctor68 my survival rate is really good. My method is when I plant direct seeds or transplant, I put that Sluggo Plus literally around each plant or on top of the soil after covering the seeds. Another good suggestion is the find out where those slugs replicate and hide out, either get them there or if you can make where they live inhospitable to them. You will win, just have to be persistent. Yes I do have some snails and slugs, along with Earwigs and rollipullies

@@deadtreebark Yes, those are all good suggestions, just like Paulie mentioned using Sluggo directly around the seedlings. (Thanks Paulie!) I have indeed used crushed egg shells, coffee grounds, and even copper tape to wrap around plant pots, and every one of those things DOES work, but they don't for a full 100%, and that's the problem. All of those options may stop 9 slugs from reaching your plants, but nr 10 is hungry enough to go for it anyway, and he easily takes out 4 or 5 young lettuce plants. And repeats that for a few nights, while his buddies go hungry. Some things still amaze me though, like slugs eating the plants of my potatoes. I assumed those were poisonous plants, but the slugs don't seem to mind... In any case, I have not given up. I have been catching and fighting these little buggers for over 10 years, and while I haven't harvested a single crop in that time, it did bring forth a nice composting hobby that I enjoy as well. :)

I have to cover ALL seedlings in my garden with bird netting. My neighbor feeds birds right next to my yard - crows, pigeons, yard birds even deer etc. Sucks. all the extra steps I have to take because of it. Got a greenhouse build started so hopefully, someday, I won't have to deal with covering them anymore and can start all in greenhouse. Would prefer directly in ground but - both pigeons and crows pull the seedlings out of the ground to get to the still attached seed. argh! your gardens are gorgeous. I've only got about max 6hrs direct sun in mine. Ground never really gets hot either in summer either as I'm surrounded by 90' redwoods and cedars to boot.

Thank you, quastion when you thinned out, could you not have transplanted those you pulled out into a different area? It seems like a waste to juat throw them out.

Beautiful, my favourite flower. Did you replant the ones you took out for space.. they were thriving plants, would they still grow if replanted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Crazy how I'm downstairs looking at my 3 packages of Sunflowers and I come upstairs pick up this iPad and see your video top right! So I clicked on it 😂 How did my pad know what I was thinking about downstairs?? Idk but I thank you for the tips! Grew about 15 years ago but I want a privacy wall 😎

I've done this. It works quite well. I only had a small space and a packet of only 25 seeds. I planted a grid of 5x5 seeds and they all germinated. When they grew to full height, the leaves were everywhere. I could not see through to the street on the other side of the patch, except in places all the way at the bottom of the stems and I had to squat down with the hose-end sprayer to water the ones in the middle. Privacy wall/hedge accomplished. I can tell you something else I did which managed the same feat. I set up a fence of tomato cages along the sidewalk and planted all my tomato seedlings under them. (I had a shit-load of volunteer cherry tomato sprouts.) The vines grew up through the tomato cages and then when they got to the top I had to route them over sideways to wind along the tops of the other tomato cages in the row. It made a privacy hedge of cherry tomatoes and not only was I up-to-my-ass in cherry tomatoes, it also made an excellent diversionary tomato vine. By that I mean that whenever random passing pedestrians see my garden, they go for the easy fruit - the toms on the vine right there - and take what they can get... usually contented with that much they walk on by and ignore the rest of my garden space. I have also planted what I like to call "Sacrificial zucchinis" on the parking strip in front right next to the sidewalk. I've found the occasional zuke stolen... and I didn't care about it cuz it wasn't any loss. It was sacrificial zukes. Random passing pedestrians take the easy low-hanging fruit and ignored my main garden. Besides... it's zucchini. So there's another idea for you to try out. Happy to report, Sir, they both worked out quite well. Cheers!

I'm going try your planting, Sounds like you have grown them before, I just poked them at random and had pretty good results but you probably done them more than me,Always good to improve and perhaps I'll do my best next fall.. I'm wanting to set my soil up to have a great tomato garden the following season as I understand the sunflower roots will be compose naturally and tomatoes will thrive in the year old roots from the sunflower. Thanks for the teaching Lady and fine video. 🙂

Someone else said that about the roots, but we pull them out and amend the soil before planting anything else.

If I treat my soil with a slow release fertiliser before planting my sunflowers. What would be the best kind of plant feed to give them for maximum height and how often ? Do I need to trim leaves or parts of the plant? Many thanks for any help you can offer me
