Sunflowers are good to direct sow too. If you sprout them in starter pots the transplant the get stunted. Put a seed directly in soil and off they go. 😊 Isn’t it wonderful growing food?

Yes they do! I grew several grey mammoth sunflowers one year, let the seeds mature then clipped off the heads and put them all in a cardboard box outside. Forgot about box until I noticed a squirrel sitting in it feasting away. πŸ˜‚ He was sooooo happy. 😊
