Hi Joanna, thank you! I don't know what kind of sunflowers I'm talking about either, I've seen them on OTHER people's properties, maybe 6-8 feet tall. But on the link you gave me, I saw the American Giant Hybrid, 16 feet tall, are they KIDDING?? At first, I thought I'd be embarrassed to have a line of those, and then I really got into that Jack in the Beanstalk reference (remember the Bugs Bunny version with the giant who says, aw, you tink you're pretty C-A-T smart?? OK, back to our regular programming.)
Yours are gorgeous, and I am going to take your advice about starting them inside, but please tell me, how far in advance should I start them before putting them in the ground? I won't plant them outside until May 15th. I will put those cutworm collars around them. I'll give them every chance. I'm going seed shopping tomorrow!!!
