I love growing them on the allotment, they attract the bees and other insects and anyway – they look great. Especially if they manage to grow tall or have huge faces, like this one. I had to cut it and bring it home, in the past the squirrels found it and before I knew the seeds were gone.

This beauty wasn’t the tallest but had the biggest face – 39 cm! Enough seeds to grow a field of them next year.
