Preparation is everything.

1. In late spring, a week or two before you intend to plant the seeds in your garden, place the sunflower seeds between a couple of pieces of damp paper towels to initiate germination.

2. Choose a well-drained location that receives full sun 6-8 hours daily. Dig compost or manure into the planting bed to a depth of about 2 to 3 feet.

3. Plant the germinated seeds directly into the ground (once the danger of frost has passed). Plant seeds 2 inches (30 cm) apart and if planting in rows, space your rows about 2 or 3 feet apart from each other. Seedlings should appear within 5-10 days.

4. Feed often and water regularly.

5. Once the petals fall off, the backside of the sunflower heads will turn yellow, at this time you will need to protect the seeds from birds and other animals. Cover the head with a normal brown paper bagloose burlap. It's harvest time when the back of the sunflowers head turns brown..
