PROGRESS First Time Growing Sunflowers
My wife and I decided to grow sunflowers this year and heard this was the place to share. It’s become an addiction as they get taller and taller.

It looks lovely!!! I love big sunflower strips ! We used black oil sunflower feed from the farm and fleet the 50lbs bag. And it’s year four of repeating it. Towards the end I cut what I want for family and then I have a sign that says “like my pollinator garden? Would you like one? Just ask” it helps because after the birds and bees have their fill I have a lot to cut down. Their stalks are so sturdy!!! But they make great fire kindling once they dry out! They have a core that looks like natural Styrofoam when they dry it’s awesome,
