One of the girls in our dorm my freshman year decided to try and plant sunflowers in her room. I wanted to see how long she would take to realize that going to the gas station to get her sunflower seed wasn't exactly the correct "step 1." And while a group of us sat inside getting ready for finals, she reached her limit with being pissed off and anxious about the tests saying "I can't even get these ranch sunflower seeds to grow, how am I supposed to know what the fuck these organelles are called?" I absolutely lost it and fell over laughing. She was trying to grow "ranch" sunflowers 😂🤣
Rule of thumb- "packaged for consumption" = heat treated "to NOT grow". More "Companies", are getting away from this though- thanks to all who left "glowing/nasty reviews", on the sites who: "CLAIM/SAY", "they're organic". #HowConsumerismWorks2022 - #TheySay / #TheyClaim - #ThePeopleBelieveThem / #ThePeopleTrustThem (by "#BuyingIntoSalesPitches2022", regardless who they're "SAID/CLAIMED by", the #VibrationalBuyingTrap continues as long as you #KeepParticipating, #CheeseGrateBitsOfSelf, #BetrayingSelfAgain, #FoolingSelfAgain, etc #NegativeConsumerismTrap2022, both online & off. *THEN..*) - #ThePeopleGetGot / #ThePeopleGotGot2020 #PreCovidCapitalism was "dead", if you go back & look at ANY "Protest photos/videos", from 2019. Gov/Pharma, "attempted TO"- "#SubConsciouslyReDirectThePeople2020".. and look where things are at.
I actually managed to grow sunflowers when I was about 8 and they got HUGE. You have NO IDEA how excited and happy I was that I managed to grow these flowers. c:
Well they are native to pretty much all of North America. Grow from the tropics of Yucatan to freezing glazers of Alaska. Very adaptable little buggers! And we humans have totally helped their selection. especially since we have spread them across the world.
@@lunakitty953 depende del suelo, el clima, en mi patio los pájaros se comieron todas las semillas y no llegaba suficiente sol, sólo sobrevivieron 3, tuve que colocarlos en maceteros, deben tener mucho sol y mucha agua, tierra firme, ojalá tierra de hojas. (estoy en chile, y por lo menos acá así tiene que estar si eres de santiago)
I've been feeding the birds for years, I didn't realize the small plant in your video was a sunflower springing up. I need to protect that plant next time one takes root! Thank you!
@@miekaandkadoe7042 Hah! What? 😱 like on your shed? I've been gardening since I was 5 and nature tends to find ways to surprise me in the most awesome way possible! That's awesome!
My mom (who’s a plant expert, she’s basically a real life garden faery) told me that sunflowers are extremely resilient & are likely to thrive even if odds are against them.
Sunflowers are my favorite so I’m trying to grow a few indoors rn so they’re at least big enough to put on my balcony. I don’t have any big pots so gonna see how much use I can get out of my big cups😂 Also growing a mango seed in water in a soda cup and it has some leaves!
Most likely slugs. Set beer traps and see if that is the problem. It could be birds too. If you can't seem to find any slugs it could be birds. you can put some mesh garbage bins over them and then you can remove them once they are multiple inches high with multiple sets of leaves. It could also be a little worm I don't remember what they are called but it's essentially a little worm that eats away at seedlings. There is not much advice I can give out for those. I never had that problem with those. But I do know Google might have some good info on that. If you live near a library you could ask your librarian if she/he has any good books on garden pests. It could also be just as simple as not getting enough rainfall. You might have to come to their aid with a little watering here and there. I hope this helps! 😀
Grow jursuleum artichoke or sun chokes there perenial sunflowers that are perenial in Canada and have edible big tubers they make tinier sunflowers but there easier to grow.
I just set 6 hours to set it on water and I plant it at a Medium flower pot I set a cross † to make the chickens run because I eats my f###ing seeds everyday 🌱🌿🌼🌻
Help ... I had some seeds... but they just grow very thin... And just get like 1-2 leaves and die..... I've try inside the house out side .. throwing them randomly outside and nothing :(
fun fact, did you know honey bees are invasive in America? if you care about the environment build an army of bald faced hornets instead ✨ (which are actually just very large yellow jackets, there's no true hornets native to America)
@@kai_fatallysapphic You can care about environment by letting solitary bees get their fill, as well. The invasive bees are hive forming, solitary bees are native, pollinate a large variety of plants and they are not cultivated for honey or commercial pollination, so they need help, either as necter flowers or as Mason bee hostels
@@aleenaprasannan2146 I know, I love solitary bees and wasps too! I just have a special interest in social wasps, they're my favorite. also bumblebees are a social species native to America, you can't just divide bees into social=invasive and solitary=native. solitary species certainly need the most help and protection, but we should respect eusocial bees and wasps too! :)
Yes you can!!! My family used grow and eat a bunch of them. You just need to wait until the back of the head turns dark and dry, then cut of the head. Leave the sunflower heads to dry from 1-4 days and enjoy!😁
You must be able to store them for a long time. I always get my sunflower seeds from a bag of birdseed and grow them. I planted some, the squirrels planted some, we ended up with tons of sunflowers and mullet seed
