RE: My First Sunflower Has Arrived
Wow! Those things are huge! You didn't get the "Magical Giant Bean Stock" brand, did you?
We had some small sunflowers come up on their own. Nothing like those ones you've got there, though. My parents planted big ones once, when I was a kid, and they had a heck of a time getting the roots and stocks out of the garden plot. I hope you have an easier time of it!
What do you plan on doing with them? Are you going to toast the seeds? Did the powder work for disuading the caterpillars? Poor little caterpillars.... lol
Somehow I missed this one in the feed, which I will blame on my crappy eyesight. Good luck with the gardening!
I picked the ones I'd read got biggest. They are pretty awesome. These three are in my kiddie pool with what is left of my squash and corn plants. I'm going to have a hard time with all kinds of roots when I'm ready to clear. I'll try to harvest some seeds. Maybe for eating or planting next year. The powder worked pretty well. There aren't as many caterpillars. There were hundreds and now I'm only seeing a few.
