you are in the right place michael. and i love your sunflower pics. i'm thinking i might need a sunflower garden this year... (i know i need one, but i'm thinking i might actually do one! )
Diane - Hopefully that just shows you that first sprout is your strongest. I heard you had some good thunderstorms this evening, hope everything is alright?
Michael~ One of the seeds is all the up and another one looks like it is trying to unfold the third one hasn't done anything!! I can't tell you which is which sorry One of them is a black seed tho if that helps you id That is the one that looks like it's trying to 'unfold' Yep we did have some thunderstorms and predicting more I have a bit of a swamp in the lowest corner of the yard but it's all good nothing is planted there!!! Thanks for asking!!!

Diane - Hey, Sorry, but I completely FORGOT. =[ But I'm definaltly HAPPY that your seedlings are starting to show some great signs of LIFE!! Please do post photos and post here! =]
I care about everyone, and I was very concern over what destruction these storms do over there!

Saddly, these photos were taken on March 30th, I been wanting to post these, but I have been pretty busy with things. Dreadfully my spring BREAK has begun, TWO WEEKS! YAY Anyways, I will try to get some photos in by tomorrow, NEW PHOTOS that is.
I will post only two, want a detail update? Please come over to my Website, and at the top left hand corner, you will see March 2007, for the latest. .
Just checked out your site again The common sunflowers look awesome!! Hey that's a great layout plan for your combination area,, I just think you are amazing in the execution of your layout!! For someone soo young you are so well versed and is on top of it .. You could actually teach classes in this!!
Here's hoping your spring Break is all you need and want it to be and the weather gives you all the sunshine you can use.. :thum:

Diane, awww, you are so sweet! Thanks! I feel very proud!
Triss, Thanks! Yep! Glad you noticed, but there are much more this year! it has been going along since I was 10 years old. More and more keep sprouting. It's like dividing cells that produce and produce more and more!!!
April 1, 2007 Here is a update of the side of the house. I brighten up the areas were the sunflowers are shown. Since it was a little dark, Took these around 8 in the morning. It's already Mid-day here, about to head to church, see you soon!
They are free range chickens that only stay in my yard, don't hop fences at all. They don't make noises since they are hens , I had a rooster once, but the neighbors had a fit. =[
I'm thinking of just quiting my website since I need a lot of spare time to update it frequently. Since School is my number one choice and secondly would be my mother since she is getting very very sick I will just close down my website, and just simply post here on my FAVORITE website which would be Gardener's Helper! I made so many wonderful friends here.
An update to all, on a VERY windy day today i took some photos of my garden around 8am.
Common Sunflowers
Paul Bunyan's
Closer look at my Common Sunflowers facing east.
Now, looking down. I have an earwig problem as you can see...lol

Here is an update as of 4-21-07 I took them around 10am in the morning... A view of my Common Sunflowers growing very tall! (4ft)
Common Sunflowers to the top right hand corner and to the left corner is the Paul Bunyans
Enjoy!
Okay, this sunflower is the Actec Gold Sunflower. It grows around 5-6ft tal. This is my first heads of the season. Which is very odd for an early start.
Hey! Haven't Shown you my Paul Bunyans in the front. So I thought I'd show everyone!
We hit a high of 67degrees It was a great day with thunderstorms all around my area, but no actual hit. Which is good, or my sunflowers would be weighed down.
WOW Michael!!! You have so many large, lush plants growing there, I would have thought it took up more of your backyard! I can't wait to see when things start blooming there!
Okay Micheal Here is the lone sunflower that made it after transplanting to ground !! I don't know which sunflower of the three kinds you sent me it is sooo we'll just have to wait and see!!!
IT's the tallest one in front of the pole!

Diane it looks like a Paul Bunyan to tell you the truth just because the purple young stem it currently has. Thanks for posting Please DO keep posting more!!
Here are more photos of my garden. Common Sunflowers.
Micheal, Gosh, I just can't get over how green everything is for you.. We are just getting buds' on trees, and some are just opening up... And most are doing the first or second mowings' of the year....
Keep those sunflowers growin'... I am enjoying them immensely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I've asked this before.... *can't remember* Have you grown something called a Mexican Sunflower? *Doesn't look nothing like a regular sunflower, but it's cute*
Weezie

Just so everyone knows. I'm now starting to see a few heads starting to come on on all my common Sunflowers..... Their current height is around 6ft
My Aztec Gold Sunflower which is 5ft tall. Will Bloom this week for sure!!!!!
Well i took these photos this morning.... It's getting there! Also Note, that this these sunflowers only grow 5-6ft tall.. They are only 4-5ft tall this year. But these are only Aztec Golds that will cross pollinate with the larger type!
