Sunny day....

This is my sunflower as pictured today. It's growing incredibly quick. I've had to use a broom handle as a cane and tied it on with ribbon to keep it from falling over (as you can tell I'm very new to gardening..!) but i think its looking rather good. Although the pesky snails have taken a shine to it so have had to move it round the garden to limit their access..snail defence tips welcome :)
