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 Father91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淚 tried to measure it yesterday actually,91裸聊视频� said Brown. 91裸聊视频淚 can91裸聊视频檛 get up there high enough with the ladder, so we used the guttering system, because it91裸聊视频檚 about the right height of the house. So I took a measurement down to the gutter and it91裸聊视频檚 [about 14 feet, eight inches], 14-9 give or take. It91裸聊视频檚 a monster.91裸聊视频�

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

91裸聊视频淭his is my second time doing this too,91裸聊视频� said Brown. 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e never grown sunflowers 91裸聊视频� my first year, last year, was a big disaster. I grew everything in one spot and lost a lot of stuff. This year, I91裸聊视频檝e got carrots poking out of the ground, tomatoes that are fully coming. We had so much zucchini, I91裸聊视频檝e got watermelon, but the sunflower, that91裸聊视频檚 the thing.91裸聊视频�

Come the fall, Brown said he91裸聊视频檚 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 year91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频榤 like, 91裸聊视频楬ow do I get in on that? What do I have to do to do that? I91裸聊视频檒l yank [mine] out of the ground and drag it over right now.91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� If I do that next year, I91裸聊视频檓 dragging that over. That wouldn91裸聊视频檛 even fit in the building,91裸聊视频� said Brown.

When asked what she thought of the sunflower, Jubilee said it 91裸聊视频渋s amazing.91裸聊视频�
