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!)

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!

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.

It is strange, the one's I grow in a more controlled setting verses the ones that crop up in random areas of my house are vastly different. I had one grow as tall as my house and it was one that had been planted by a bird, no up keep or added fertilizers and it grew bigger than any of the ones I monitored in my garden.

I have a raspberry patch that looks like that. Not quite as tall, My raspberries are between 11 and 12 feet tall. But very large green leaves almost as big as those sunflower leaves. 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.

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. Really would love to relocate strictly to garden. not feasible though

makesmefeellikeatalltree I start the sunflower seeds outside and then take a styrofoam cup and cut the bottom off and put the cup over the seed with the bottom up so it’s a smaller opening.

Gallon spring water jugs work well too with the bottoms cut off and leave the caps off for air circulation.

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.

Try Sluggo Plus to get rid of those pesky pests

@@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

You should gathering or buying a bunch of egg shells, cedar mulch, and used coffee grounds for a top layer, or even wild brambles to make the top layer very dangerous for them

@@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. :)

One would need a saw or a machete to harvest those sunflower seeds... A little more spacing and they would take the place of corn in a Three Sisters setup together with squash and beans

You can, but if you want not to have that amount of plants i find no sense of planting them and then taking themo out the soil, i would rather plant them with the final distance between each one or growing on a pot first an one week after transplanting them to the final location.

Great breakdown. I have sunnies in a well prepared bed twice the size of those growing in regular soil. Preparing beds for all plants makes the difference in a brilliant garden or not.

Ok as a new gardener, I thought you don’t need fertilizer if you have compost because compost is fertilizer(?) Also *OMGGGG THOSE ARE HUGEEEEE*

Compost is a fertilizer but not enough nutrients to substitute for actual fertilizer. Common mythconception, see here: www.planetnatural.com/composting-101/soil-science/myths/

Compost only contains what it picked up from the soil where the plant material came from. It is primarily a soil conditioner. I stopped making compost over twenty years ago as a waste of time and effort, I dig plant material in right back where it came from.

M Potter Sure it is. People have successfully gardened for eons without commercially produced fertilizer/inputs. But waaaaay more importantly, nobody is fertilizing a forest or a prairie other than nature. Rock dust, bones, feces, and decaying plant matter. I hope Joanna goes and looks at Charles Dowding's videos.

Some compost may not have EVERYTHING the plant wants. Depends what you put in to compost. The sunflowers might want some veggie you hate and so never included. You want to make a video, you make sure the plant has EVERYTHING. Belt and suspenders sure. She didn't want some piddling 12 footer.....
