I put the feathers of dill in a freezer bag coverer with kosher salt and place in freezer. Have fresh dill all winter long. Just rinse salt off dill before using.

I love sunflowers and I say that as a first-time sunflower grower this year. My Mammoth’s are already nearly my gutter in height and were grown initially for solar protection/solar cooling. Now, I am planting them all over and have many different varieties popping up here in the PNW. I will be taking what I learned this year and apply it to my strategy for next year 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

When I gardeners in California, the finches always ate my sunflower leaves. Here in Idaho, the finches don't eat them. Weird! I noticed, in Washington, they don't eat the leaves either..

I have watermelon and pumpkin seedlings I need to plant, they need more root space. But temperatures have averaged 112°F for 10 days, topping off at 118°F. And up to nearly 110°F for the next several days with extremely low humidities ( down to 5%). Should I hold off putting the seedlings in ground until this heatwave subsides? NorCal weather has been rough this year, a low of 18°F and high of 118°F. My tomatoes and peppers are struggling, losing all flowers and some near death. Shade not helping them.

And I was enjoying my garden so much this year. I had big plans for canning, pickling, and fermenting. Last year was a good year, so I doubled my efforts this year. I hope many of my plants can recover, but we still have August to get through.

I LOVE grey stripe mammoth Grow them every year and many more volunteer. Have an 8 footer this year coming close to blooming which somehow found it's way into my long raised bed so it's towering about 12 feet right now with the elevation of the bed. They are just magnificent and against the blue sky they are absolutely beautiful. They are one of several plants that I always let grow where they landed last year as the birds feasted. THANK YOU for the info on the seeds. I've kept those we consume in glass jars after a long dry out but will most definitely be saving the grow seeds in paper bags from now on and so will be able to get those stored sooner.

Tried growing some big ones the last few years. The bed I've grown them in was crap, the first year they only got to about 40cm tall, then the second year they got to almost a meter. This year and still currently those beds have popped off and are full of flowers, so this spring and summer im anticipating they get even bigger 🤞 I just want some mammoth ones, I wanna experience a giant sunflower in my garden haha, and the bees go absolutely nuts on them even when they arent as big

I’m growing Pro Cuts on a 3 weeks succession. Started off with the White Nites and Orange. Now getting ready to plant out Horizon. I always start them inside under lights because the birds are notorious for eating the newly germinated sprouts and it is easier to keep them moist when they’re germinating. I plant them in blocks 6 inches apart to keep the stems smaller for vases and cut them when the first petal starts to lift so the pollinators don’t get to them and shorten their vase life. I might try some branching ones next to enjoy them in the garden.

I planted only one Evening Sun sunflower and one Tithonia in my raised beds as opposed to planting them in the native soil like I did last year and WOW what difference in the size of these plants. The Evening Sun is towering over the whole garden at 12' tall and just stated blooming. The Tithonia is a massive 6 foot bush shaped like a Chistmas tree but no blooms as of yet, can't wait though because the Monarchs seem to really love Tithonias. 🌻Zone 9B Coastal California🌻

I'm loving my silverleaf sunflowers, in 9b CA, second year of growing them. I discovered them on the "crime pays but botany doesn't" channel, a Texas native growing wild on a rocky poor native Texas soil. They're drought resistant, they have blue gray fuzzy leaves, goldfinches go crazy for the flowers. Flowers are recursive (most flower nodes branch a new stem) and therefore you get a billion flowers at the end if the season. I can't say enough about the Texas silverleaf sunflowers. Also the rufous hummingbirds enjoy these sunflowers' nectar. A single tiny seed grows into a 5 to 7 ft tall multi-branch shrub, I grow patches of ~ six plants, and they forma protecting thicket that has the aura of a community, a microclimate, A place of its own, like a redwood grove is a place of its own. They also make a nice living hedge protecting my windows from a view of the street.

I wish I saw this months ago. I just lost my huge tomato plant because of poor trellising on my part, every year I underestimate how gigantic they will be. My harvest this year will be 0. A slight wind = cracked off at the base. Next year I am copying this method. Out of all of the videos I saw, this one seems the most secure and the least amount of work.
