That's a small forest.
I'm cutting back on the number of plants this year as I usually aim for around 70.
Around late August the plants are getting 7 ft. tall and by the time I pull them, many are close to 8 ft. tall. By then, many of the stalks are 2+ inches across and are a bear to remove from the garden.
I'll cut them with a cane knife about 2 ft. off the ground and then do my best to pull the out by hand and if that fails, it's time to break out the shovel and dig them out. It's a hell of a workout removing all those stalks and I'll fill the bed of my pickup with them to dump.
