    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
