Growing Sunflowers

I’m anxious to plant some flowers. Since we haven’t hit our last frost of the year, I’ve planted some seeds in containers, so I can cover them on cold nights. Here is a picture taken a few days after I planted the seeds:

And here is how they have grown in just a few days:

So we are seeing much progress from the sunflower seeds. I get so excited to check on them each morning because it seems there is a new one that has sprouted up. Hopefully we will have a bunch of sunflowers this summer, which will make for great photo opportunities.

  3. Hey I was once tried to plant sunflower but unfortunately it is not successful I think the climate is one of the main reason why it didn’t grow.

    I have a few that have taken off..not sure what will happen with them. I’ve got to plant the rest of my seeds soon. After planting in the hard ground, I plan to do some container gardening.
