The tallest sunflower is around 8-1/2feet, over nine if you count the little bend in stalk at ground level.

Oh your garden is so big and nice!! I just love it. [flower] And you obviously give it great care. Oh, and about that "unidentified" plant....it's just possible that I might know what that plant is. I saw it in a book once. [grin]

Is that what that is, I just hack it down with the mower or weedwacker and put in the garden as mulch with the other clippings, or in the compost pile.

There is a about a bushel in the noxious weeds burn pile, should be a good time then, yaderhay. [lala] [lala] [angel]

Woodchuck....watch out for helicopters and the ATF!

That's to funny! [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

You could have put those pictures in the Mystery Plants section.

And it ought to be a good time roasting marshmellows over that fire. [muggs] [Embarrassed] [muggs]

Yes...I may have come across that too...I'd have to double check to be positive. [lala]

Woodchuck....I was sitting having dinner and realized that I did not comment on your garden. The rest of the pictures look great. (I just happened to get caught up on 2 of them.)

I wonder what I would do with all that space?

The plant that is unidentified sure looks like Marijuana to me. Not sure if it of 'Smoking Quality', it may be of 'Rope Quality'. Used to see it growing wild in Kansas. We called it Kansas Killer Weed.

I used to smoke a little 'back in the day'.

Hey Amigatec, you must have inhaled, the residual effect of self-echo is still present. [perplexed] [perplexed]

This might explain why there are so many small aircraft cruising at slow speeds and low altitudes over my place, only living here for four years, the weeds were over grown for years before we got here, so who knows what was grown here previously.
The DNR goes slow and low in their yellow single engine plane, but the weed(s) are very difficult to see because of the trees and I've kept up on the trimming better this year, not that I'm trying to do anything unscrupulous.
Although when I get done mowing the field area in back I'm always a little [perplexed] myself, hey, anybody know if clover has halucinogenic qualities when inhaled while the mower chops it up for 1-1/2 hours, I see some cool stuff when I'm done mowing back there every week.

that's my idea of the perfect garden (weed included)!! i'm so impressed by the layout that i'm going to start collecting cardboard cartons to use to kill off/prep sod areas to double my enclosed growing area (though, somewhat sadly, i think i'll limit my crops to legal ones). thanks for the inspiration and enjoy your beautiful garden!!
