They look amazing! Question for you, have you had an issue with slugs? Something has been eating my sunflowers, I never saw what it was during the day. I just went outside to check them (it’s 1 am my time) and there was a huge slug on one of them.

I found a few in the early stages of growth, but I haven’t seen them in a while. My grandpa told me if I wet the leaves too much that’s why they come.

Mine (UK) are only about 20-30cm tall so far lol. Not sure if it’s the climate difference of something else.

Climate might affect them. Also maybe they’re late bloomers?

Awesome! Our biggest up north just hit 4 feet. Only 3 weeks old so I’m encouraged.

We’re using pikes peak, mammoth and some others mixed in.
