Will I have a sunflower soon?

I'm taking bets on when my tallest sunflower will finally bloom. It's above my railing now. A few others are growing nicely. Maybe I'll have a few blooms at once! Send your guesses as to when I'll see yellow, along with $100, to Horse@GoFundYourself.com. @FourWalls set up the account for me. Just kidding! But I am calling all self-proclaimed flower experts to guess with me: How long until I see yellow?

Not an expert here, but I would say "less than a week"

I can't call myself an expert, but I'll guess three days. Three days and they'll all bloom simultaneously! Forget the hundred bucks, you crazy horse!

@CinnamonGrl Heh. I'll provide updates. Unless I'm too busy. That's a joke.

Heh heh. That would be lovely if they all bloomed together. I AM hoping for some overlap. The one next to this one is only about a foot shorter and is also almost ready to bloom.

@Adie04 I'll do another post in a couple of days. I think I will have a full (but small) sunflower by then.

I just noticed a large sunflower behind my backyard where it meets the meadow. Nobody in our neighborhood has sunflowers, so not sure where it came from. Unless maybe some bird pooped out a seed as they were flying by.

That's what I was thinking before I read your last sentence. Great minds think alike.

Maybe by the weekend. I love sunflower seeds. You'll have to beat the birds to them!

My sunflowers are always pretty small because they're in planters. I only harvest seeds from the taller sunflowers we grow at the preschool. We'll see if the birds take a liking to my balcony sunflower seeds this year.

I bet a couple of good "Sun-days" and your sunflower will be in bloom

It's looking good! I just transplanted some corn an tiny tomato plants into bigger pots. Hope they thrive as well. Do you have a garden growing?

@TheHorse Yes, I plant tomatoes each year. I also grow eggplant, squash, cucumbers and I've even had pumpkins. Nothing like tomato sandwiches. Good luck with your corn. That would be a great addition to any garden!

Ohhh, you can see it budding at least! We planted our seeds rather late . . . it's about 6 inches high and only at the 4-6 leaves stage. We have no expectations . . . just trying to keep them alive

. Anyway, hope you see yellow very soon!
