Our foster kiddo randomly brought home a sunflower seed packet a few weeks ago.

The funny thing about the seeds were that they were very vague.  The only information I could find on the packet is that they are sunflowers!  There's no variety listed at all!  I have no idea if they're going to be small or large sunflowers or even what color they will be!

Because we're still not sure where we'll be planting them, I decided to seed start them first.  This was my first time seed starting sunflowers & it went great!  Out of the 8 seeds I planted, 6 of them became seedlings!

I always find it weird that given the same conditions, seeds take off differently.  While we have some larger seedlings, there are still a couple small ones in there.

Here are pictures & the story of my 2018 sunflowers!

I honestly didn’t have high hopes for these sunflowers.

Last year, our neighbors gave us a few sunflower plants & they disappeared in our front garden!  I don’t know what happened to them!  Maybe some wildlife ate them?  Who knows…
