Next year when its the right season I’ll plant some seeds. I’d love to have a line of really tall ones along my boundry fence.
How to grow sunflowers
It made me
cheerful 
"I had tons of tall pretty flowers."
How I did it: I have always driven by houses with pretty sunflowers and admired them. Last summer I decided I wanted to put some in for the birds as well as myself. I have a south facing backyard and threw a few different kind of seeds in and voila! Too many for the little space so I had to transplant them all over the backyard. It brought bluejays like crazy and I love hearing how excited bluejays get when they find something worth screeching about! LOL.
I had bought small previously planted sunflowers that always died..these little seeds took off easily and grew with little care.
They were beautiful. I must do this again this year!
Lessons & tips: You can literally toss the seeds and they'll grow.

They are sooo freakin tall and beautiful!! I already tried some of the seeds but they’re not quite ready just yet. :-) I think a few more weeks and then I can check this off. I am definitely planting more next year too, more than the 50 I did this year. I’ve already bought different sunflower seeds so I’m ganna have a variety of sunflowers next year. It’ll be one big sunflower garden, I better plan it before I plant that way it wont turn out ugly lol

The sunflowers have opened – so big and beautiful. They’ve grown so tall they’re touching the roof of my house!!
They’ve been very low maintenance, and look so cheerful! I cant wait to do this again next year! =)

The shoots are over a meter and a half to 2 meters tall now! There are even little green ‘buds’ that have formed ready for the flowers to bloom. =)
Growing tall
11 months ago
The sprouts are about half a meter tall now. Its interesting to watch them grow because I planted two different types of seeds. One type is about half the size of the other at the moment. Hopefully this will result in a nice effect!
Planted the seeds today!

I planted the seeds today!! In a sunny garden bed up against a wall. Good spot.
Should be a while before i get actual flowers – but at least i’ve set the ball rolling. Cant wait! =)
