Hello to all I sent sunflower seeds to.  

I planted over 250 seeds and only 4 have grown. 

Hope yours did better than mine.

Last year I planted 25 and 24 grew.

I planted two in a pot and so far they are growing. I don't know if they will prroduce flowers or not but I'm looking forward to see what happens. :)

Some germinated, some did not, but then the hurricane beat down the ones that were out in the garden (and that was after the raccoons trampled/uprooted some of them too).  It has not been a good year for my garden.  However, I hadn't started all of them, so will try again next year with the leftover ones.  Thanks for sharing them!
