Gardening Tip:
Aim for an early crop by planting a little before the recommended "after danger of frost" note on the seed packet.I have had better luck growing sunflowers close to a fence or beside a building. ..[adds support for the large, tall bulky growth. Some varieties are not so tall though. I recall driving past vast acreages of SUNFLOWER FIELDS in the north Texas area as we returned from the Dallas Market back in the 1990's. Obviously these rows had no support.
[I have only grown one or two rows in each season ]
If you choose to plant early...sew your seeds generously then it is not likely you will loose all of them even with a surprise weather event.
If your spring weather comes on early with no surprises then you'll have as they say "a bumper crop"

Oh, Jonell. I see our minds are in the same place, these days. I have sunflowers every year and not on purpose. They grow up under my deck and stairs from the seeds i pit in my bird feeder. Isn't that funny? So, I guess I can attest to their"easy to grow"! They look beautiful, but then again, that's no surprise coming from such a beautiful lady, inside and out!
