Sunflowers make Sunflower Seeds!?



One day Jessica and I were walking in Walmart and the alluring display of all the seed packets caught our eye. I thought it would be a fun project to plant a few things in paper cups and watch them grow through the bleak months in March. Well our little sunflower seed moved from a cup to a small pot, to a larger pot to eventually outside. Most plants don't make it past the paper cup. While both our thumbs are not green our eagerness overruled and we were elated about our healthy little plants. Eventually it got so big we both could not believe our eyes! They were HUGE! Gardening is something as new to me as it was for Jessica so I felt like a child discovering the fun along with her! When we discovered that WE had made our own sunflower seeds, we were hooked!
Now what should we try?
