This picture shows the whole of our house, and also all of the sunflowers. Bearing in mind that the patio is about a foot lower than the ground floor (there are three steps down to it from the kitchen or the dining room) you can see just how tall these things (especially number four) have got.

I’m extremely pleased!

You can also see how the nasturtiums have clambered all over one of the bushy things (bottom left of the picture) in the rockery! I asked Nancy if this was cause for concern but she thinks the bushy thing will be just fine. The nasturtiums are quite brittle so I’m sure she’s right.
