Well done if it is that size Matt/Jenny but I am a wee bit sceptical. For a start we don't see the whole plant. Jenny could be either holding a pot or is actually on her knees. When you mentioned Inverness it immediately entered my mind about a lot of photos that have emanated from around there about some monster in the Loch. Not your work as well perchance? The leaves also look rather small compared to the rest of us. Could be you've got the dreaded Japanes Bindweed instead of a sunflower---better destroy it before the Ministry of Agriculture, never mind Inverness Airport, move in!
Compared to yours my attempts are nowhere as large. Problem with the one at the fence is it only gets the sun(when it's there) in the afternoon because of a cherry tree screening it. It has still managed to get over six feet. Wooden slats are 6 inches wide and gap is the same.
I'm useless with Photoshop so have had to include the unadulterated photos.
RTL - your sunflowers look so strong and mighty, what have you been feeding them?
ReplyDeleteMatt - you've been rumbled ;)
Rats! I would have got away with it - if it wasn't for you pesky kids!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff RTl, and Matt & Jenny.... gosh mine would be ENORMOUS ... if i could work photoshop....!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo handfuls of pelleted chicken manure mixed into the hole before planting plus another handful was scattered over the surface before I put the sand down. Stood back and let the rain do the rest. Have lost a couple of leaves with the wind and the leaf level with the top of the fence is punctured with holes. Suspect the sparrows are pecking away at it as they go by but haven't caught them in the act.
