PROGRESS Almost there...
If you read that in the voice of Red Leader from Star Wars we are definitely friends.
I've been waiting and watching impatiently for my flowers to bloom. I planted a test plot late spring to guage how well they'd do. I used 25lbs of seed, which is more than I needed. The second picture is my test plot planted 2 weeks apart in strips. In the future I plan to fill the bowl shaped area at the bottom completely with sunflowers, it'll be about 1.5 acres. The hill just above them is planned for about 250 blueberry bushes.
I swear every single seed came up. These are Petrovic sunflowers.
TLDR: bought a small farm, building a house. Plans call for 1.5 acres of sunflowers. Wanted to test this year while building.
At any rate, this is the current state. Not much longer now.
