I'm out as I've let mine die in the greenhouse before potting on or planting out. I don't think I had the enthusiasm as I'll be away at a crucial time when they won't be watered and Sod's Law says there'll be a heatwave here when I'm not.

Tallest one is 2ft3. Some of the weeds growing between the sunflowers are (were) even taller though.
