Re: Sunflowers..


I grew some last year Moli.....Katie planted some seeds in a tub and she let me have a couple for the garden. I suppose they grew to about 8 feet tall. I did take some pics but can't find them now

Re: Sunflowers..


I might do some for the kids in the garden this year, as I am trying to improve my gardening skills.

Re: Sunflowers..


I'll have to get some seeds then in case the kiddies don't grow them at school this year! My SIL grew one as well last year.....he didn't support it and it snapped ...he was so proud of it too!
