Took mine out yesterday as they were very much past their prime. Discovered a skinny self seeded one from last year which is about 4’ at the moment. Left it in, hopefully didn’t disrupt its roots too much.

I might be rubbish at growing sunflowers, but my first attempt at tomatoes has gone quite well :-)
