YOU WILL LOVE THEM. So easy to grow and harvest. EASY to sell. Weeds will not bother them. Harvest when they first show color. They will last 8 to 10 days. ENJOY

@@iamorganicgardening thank you but I'm still confused, don't the seeds dry and last basically forever? I'm growing some myself and have been eating them for a couple weeks now straight off the plant, I planned on harvesting them but I didn't know they would go bad so quickly

We enjoyed going to our first U pick sunflower farm this year. They had 2 big paddocks and heaps of visitors. We cut our own flowers. They had secateurs to buy if you’d forgotten your own. $2 a stem ( Australian).

my neighbors grew sunflowers last year and all the birds steal the seeds and come munch them down in my trees. WELL this year i am a proud grower of 50 volunteer sunflowers! instead of grass i have wildflowers and a mixture of sunflowers growing... the soil is so trash here im almost hoping to use the tap roots as soil busters.... im sure yours will look amazing!

What are your plans to water the sunflowers, especially the newly planted seeds that typically prefer alot of water at the beginning for germination?

@farmerdre1 3 жыл бұрын

Overhead irrigation

Thank you for sharing! How did you irrigate?

Good luck! If you like the results, will you save seeds for another planting? I had good success growing Velvet Queen sunflowers purchased from Ferry-Morse but I had more yellow heads than orange (Velvet Queen). I did save the seeds from a Velvet Queen head for my next planting.

What spray do you use and is it safe for bees I'm going to be starting a farm soon and I'm doing research and I want to have bee hives as well so I want to keep them healthy. Thanks
