Let's have a Sunflower Brigade!

Susan inspired this post..let's ALL plant Sunflowers! Come on, who wants to join in? All you have to do is turn over one shovel of dirt. You don't even need a flower bed. You don't have to plant a whole fence row or a field. Just one tiny spot will do. Now days, the cheapo seed companies only give you 5-10 seeds in each pack anyway. You can get them at the dollar stores for about 30 cents. You don't even have to have a yard. They have shorter varieties that grow in pots really well. So, what do you say? Wanna have a Sunflower Brigade (please, someone come up with a better name for it) and we'll share Sunflower pics when they bloom, see who grew the tallest ones, the prettiest, the most unusual and the most amusing display. I think this will be so much fun! Anyone can grow these things, they only need dirt and...sun!

I've already got seeds for one kind, and I feed my birds black oil sunflower seeds, so I will just plant some of those, too.

Yay!! Plant ALL the sunflowers!!
I have red ones, yellow ones, pale yellow ones, cream ones...all in different sizes. And some that are supposed to grow to 14' high, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Jebus, this is extra-super cool!!

Casey, you planted too early. You got excited, lol. The freeze killed almost all the old dropped seed and seedlings. A few strays is all I have, so Imma plantin'!

Susan, I can already tell yours will be one of the best. All I can find is pretty ordinary, like Mamouth and Mexicans.
