I've been saving and re-using the seed from mammoth sunflowers for the
last three years. I don't see any difference. Go figure, or something.

That's correct. Little pepp peenie doesn't truly understand the
meaning of seed saving and open pollination.

Only the really fancy
sunflowers may, notice I said MAY not come true from seed. Those are
the dwarfs, the burgundy, the teddy bear, etc.

Sister Vicky always has to end with a disclaimer... just in case... she
has
to cover her dumb ass. You haven't a clue... I don't believe you've done
much gardening, and you keep reinforcing how little you know, about
anything
in fact, you're at the grade school keep busy project level... you're
still
at the lima bean sprouting with wet blotter paper stage... what a fraud,
and
shallow as the typical snot nosed third grader, covering up their
ignorance
with infantile name calling. Some folks are attempting serious
discussion
here... if you don't want to learn shut the **** up.

It doesn't much matter if one is going to plant a handful of seed just
for
fun (and sunflower is one of the most commonly grown seed for fun) but
for
someone planting out a "large" area (as in the present case), and even
considering planting with an implement necessitating a tractor, it
doesn't
pay to gamble, and sunflower seed are very inexpensive, especially
compared
to one's time, labor, and expectation... no one expects to wait an entire
growing season for an acre or more of plants and end up with little more
than compost material. Only those who haven't done any real gardening
would
even consider picking old seed to save for next year's crop, unless
they're
still in their lima bean with wet blotter mode, and that's precisely what
having ones vegetable garden in a teensy widdle child's playhouse sized
toys
r us greenhouse is tantamount to.


You know what they say about when you find yourself in a hole, stop
digging ;O) The ad hominems and invectives are enervating. Who's gonna
be a mench and walk away?

Hmm, musta hit a nerve, eh... you can't possibly be a mench, you are
incapable of thinking for yourself, you are strictly a follower. In fact
you are incapable of thinkingperiod For a little while there I actually
thought you were a man with a spine, but you're not and you don't... you're
just quick with a keyboard like a punk with a mouth but you don't know
anything... you'll never fool me again.

What a revolting development this is. Everybody as you were.

Went off you meds, eh Shelly? Fooled me. I thought you could be a mench
but you want to be a schmuck. Enjoy.

Act like a foul mouthed, prima donna schmuck, be treated like a foul
mouthed, prima donna schmuck, anal sphincter (actually the space
encircled by the anal sphincter).

Shelly, cohabiting with his forest pansies, hehe.
