Ginormous Sunflowers





I've tried my hand at gardening since living in Sicily. I never had much of a green thumb, but it's not a brown thumb either. I've had some great results getting things to grow here. Back in the spring I decided to try sunflowers. So, I started some seeds in pots and within days they sprouted. Eventually I moved them to the ground in my flower beds around the front of our house. Aren't they huge?! I have 2 that the diameter of the stalk is at least 1 inch around. Unbelievable! Everyday they have multible yellow jackets pollenating and recently, bumble bees. Big, huge, fat, fuzzy bumble bees! No shortage of bees here. So, here are some pics of my "Ginormous Sunflowers."
