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. |
