First sunflower of summer

Four of my Rostov sunflowers survived the rabbits. This was the first to turn from green to gold. The stalk is as thick as my arm and a good foot taller than me.

I don’t know what kind my sunflowers are, but I have one that’s probably nine feet tall that looks like it’ll finally bloom tonight. The firt one bloomed about a month ago, the rest have been slowly following suit. I should have plenty of big, yellow flowers through August and September.

Look for them on Lyndale a couple blocks south of the Wedge, right by the Loon Grocery.
