Sunflowers

My kids and I are really into growing sunflowers this year. We're trying to grow them across from each other to make a super cool sunflower fort! We've got the mammoth ~ which are now about 5 1/2 feet tall. And we've got the lemon queen which are now about 4 1/2 feet tall.

I just love growing sunflowers because they're easy, fast and huge ~ and sunflowers attract butterflies, bees and birds!

When your sunflowers start to wilt ~ just cut off the heads and hang them upside down to dry them out and harvest the seeds for next year to plant! Or eat them..or put them in your bird feeder for the birds. Can't wait 'til they bloom...
