      Sunflowers are beast, so they do pretty good again the weeds. We used them to start conditioning the new ground we opened up, and would use them as a cover crop to start fighting weeds on new area. We were starting as seedlings for 2 weeks, but I want to do more direct seeding this year. 6 inch spacing

      I talked about this a bit, but it was rambling so I cut it from the video. But I think the reason why I was happy with my sunfills is because they weren't too big. Only about the size of a palm, because I grew with 6 inch spacing. I think they would look ugly if they were spaced out and had this massive disk. But if they were really big buds, then they would look even more like artichokes before blooming

    How far do you usually space your sunflowers?

    • @YouCantEatTheGrass
      @YouCantEatTheGrass  2 роки тому +1

      6 inches if I'm Transplanting. Or 4 rows 9 inches apart, if I'm using my seeder

    For the procut. Do you pull the plant once you’ve harvested the bloom?

    • @YouCantEatTheGrass
      @YouCantEatTheGrass  2 роки тому +1

      I left them this year. I was using a lot of the sunflowers to condition new growing spaces that have lots of weeds. So I left the bottoms in the ground, and added some cover crop. I'll pull any stump left come March, but most of the roots will have rotted out over the winter

    What's your conditioning process for sunflowers?

    • @YouCantEatTheGrass
      @YouCantEatTheGrass  2 роки тому

      Strip most leaves, into a bucket of fresh water, then into a cool room for 12-24 hours. I will most likely pick the sunflowers every day or 2 next year, and then use my walk in cooler for them. There is lots that I just let bloom last year, because I planted more then I needed, so I just picked what was ready when I needed them and left the open ones to enjoy

      Very strange then that you chose to watch 23minutes of a video clearly stating it is about Sunflowers. Next time, when a title states it is about something you dislike, it would be a good idea to skip it so you have more time for stuff you enjoy. You will discover your mental state to be much healthier and happier.
