Here is what the black Oil sunflower grew like. Did great. See how much the birds polished off already. I didnt think the seed in the bags we buy would grow > They did. dodge

Barb--that is fantastic--my B O heads were not that large. at very first I picked 2 heads & only got like 2 cups o f seeds..I left the others on to dry & I guess I made a mistake--it rained too much at the wrong time & they all withered up & dryed out. but at least I did get some. I have not measured my mammoth seeds yet--but I may have gotten a gallon- all of my plants are cut down, Rod is slowly pulling out the trunks that we left behind---

I cut off several heads and dried them and the birds loved them. I was out there yesterday and my stalks are totally gone. I guess withered by the heat, wind and dry weather. It's so weird. I'm going to plant more next year. The birds are so cute hanging upside down eating from them.

dodge well it certainly was easy enough. I will try if it does not rain so much in the spring---This last year mine got in late because I didnt want to swim back by my garden to plant them. But yes barb--I am game if the weather here is, OK????

If you say they will grow it sounds good to me-- we can see how the same seed grows when planted in 3 different regions of the USA. Sounds like a fun plan !!!
