mammoth sunflower

 

🍃keep in direct light 
🍃water every day or every other 
🍃I start mine in a plastic bag with soil
🍃sprouts in a week or two
🍃plant outside once they are 1-2" tall
🍃next time I will use a tomato cage for a few of them together

when the leaves have dried up and died around the flower and the back is yellowing, it is time to harvest.  cut flower stalk.
up close photo of the tiny flowers on each seed
brush those flowers off, leaving the seeds in tact
just exposed seeds
place flowers upside down in brown paper bags to dry out.  can take a month.
