2021 - What I did today

Yesterday I cut my JA's down to 5ft hopefully they'll be a bit more stable.
Thought I'd lost my sunflowers some were almost horizontal after the thunderstorm    they've picked up this morning. 
Glad I took a photos earlier in the week because they're all looking a bit bashed around.

Hi Bren

Regards your JA's I can't remember but assume they in containers?

I have 5 containers, I emptied one as the foliage had died down, unfortunately there were no tubers, of the remaining four three of them seem to be flourishing but the forth looks dead/wilted

Danny my JA's are  grown behind the shed  in a permanent growing  area   they share  with rhubarb, blackberries and the bean row.  Its just a bit windy down there though.

Pity about one of yours dying but hopefully  you'll get a good crop from the rest.

I don't grow much in containers/buckets just potatoes, spare courgettes and some of lettuce.

Oh ok Bren

I've read about JA's taking over areas and running wild, I assume you do not have that issue? I was thinking about putting any that survive in the ground next season.

Danny I've got them trapped on two sides with a wall so i only have to watch they don't venture to close to the bean row.  I pull any up that are in the way they do grow back but it seems to keep them in check.
