I participated in the Great Sunflower Project last year, and decided to do so again this year. My sunflowers at home are not quite open. The project is really about bees. Bees are critical for pollination and thus, producing fruit. The research is conducted to find out more info on bee activity in community and home gardens.
You can participate by planting your own sunflower seeds and downloading the data sheet on the "Great Sunflower Project" website. They are out of seed for 2009, but again, buy your own.
Hint for Augusta: Lowe's has already put away their seed, but Green Thumb West had some yesterday!
This is a great kid activity and may keep them busy once your sunflowers open!
see you.
