A father and daughter in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island are marvelling at a sunflower that has grown as tall as their house.

Jason Brown received a heart-shaped craft with sunflower seeds on it from daughter Jubilee for Father香蕉视频直播檚 Day. Jubilee asked Brown to plant some of the seeds and together they watered them, with one growing taller than the others. Besides the fact it is next to the compost box, Brown has no other explanation for why it has grown so tall.

香蕉视频直播淚 tried to measure it yesterday actually,香蕉视频直播� said Brown. 香蕉视频直播淚 can香蕉视频直播檛 get up there high enough with the ladder, so we used the guttering system, because it香蕉视频直播檚 about the right height of the house. So I took a measurement down to the gutter and it香蕉视频直播檚 [about 14 feet, eight inches], 14-9 give or take. It香蕉视频直播檚 a monster.香蕉视频直播�

Brown only began gardening last year, with less than satisfactory results, but he is learning.

香蕉视频直播淭his is my second time doing this too,香蕉视频直播� said Brown. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e never grown sunflowers 香蕉视频直播� my first year, last year, was a big disaster. I grew everything in one spot and lost a lot of stuff. This year, I香蕉视频直播檝e got carrots poking out of the ground, tomatoes that are fully coming. We had so much zucchini, I香蕉视频直播檝e got watermelon, but the sunflower, that香蕉视频直播檚 the thing.香蕉视频直播�

Come the fall, Brown said he香蕉视频直播檚 going to harvest the seeds and he may even consider an entry at the Vancouver Island Exhibition fair in Nanaimo next year, if he can grow another tall sunflower.

Brown attended this year香蕉视频直播檚 fair and estimates the winner was about half the size of the one in his yard and was surprised when he found out the winner receives money.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播榤 like, 香蕉视频直播楬ow do I get in on that? What do I have to do to do that? I香蕉视频直播檒l yank [mine] out of the ground and drag it over right now.香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播� If I do that next year, I香蕉视频直播檓 dragging that over. That wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 even fit in the building,香蕉视频直播� said Brown.

When asked what she thought of the sunflower, Jubilee said it 香蕉视频直播渋s amazing.香蕉视频直播�
