We are no longer sending seeds out for 2008. We do plan to continue the project next year (if we have enough funding). If you'd like us to add you to our seed mailing list, click here!. Thanks for joining!
I am sorry that my seeds never grew. I have enjoyed my garden even without the Sunflowers and watching the Bees that come to it all the same. I will be signing up for next year and really hope to be able to participate.
Thank you!

My sunflower patch was having a tough time growing. I had to keep replacing plants that died from too dry soil and carry water over in three lieter bottles and fertilizer every time we had a downpour as the soil was very sandy and the area had landfill. I put purchased topsoil on top of the seeds but as soon as it washed away the plants were sitting in almost pure hot sand in 90 degree weather.
I will pick a better location. Thought there were many bees coming to the clover and rose of sharon and flowering crabapple blossoms, we had alot of cloudy days the past few weeks or rain after they finally opened! I usually have the best luck with sunflowers and that patch of ground was quite difficlt to grow anything. Last time there I was chasing geese with my scooter away from the flowers! Im sure once they set seed, they will be goners from the geese or the wood chucks.. live and learn! Cher
You can put me on your list for mailing, but I will use the seeds that I just obtained for next seasons garden. I will offer to make one at the public library and one at our green project space and see what happens instead of handing out seeds individually. I think it will get more attention that way.

Please sign me up for next year
Cold, rainy weather in our area ruined my flowers this year. I'd love to try again next year. Thanks.
No Sunflowers this year...looking forward to next year!
