Hi everyone!
I joined last year, but joined too late to receive seeds. This year I received my seeds and I have some seedlings.

my sunflowers are coming up
the lemon queen sunflowers are coming up but have yet to flower. our weather has been kinda coolish so that might be an issue. However I do have renegade sunflowers and there are several bees buzzing around them. my grandkids seem to find all the bees!!
My Sunflowers Bolted!!
Hi all,
I was a bit disappointed with last years sunflowers, but to my pleasant surprise, last year's sunflowers bolted and i now have about a dozen sunflowers growing around my backyard. Some flowers are growing in the Brussel Sprout, cucumber, lettuce, potato plants.
This year's flowers are stronger and growing like crazy. I'm growing to start growing the seeds sent this year and get the plantings growing and give them to my neighbors or friends and get them into the Sunflower Project. This year I can provide more information than last year.
No Flowers Yet
I was late planting this year because we had an over abundance of ran and my gardens stayed swampy until the middle of my. I am happy to say I have 5 sunflower plants about 3 ft tall but no flowers as yet. I do have bees in my yard on some of my wildflowers. Mostly bumble bees but I have seen several honey bees.
