These seeds are from my farm in Virginia !
Plant in full sunlight, March - November
Sow directly in soil and water regularly.
For best results, give your plant a name and say “Hi Friend !” often.
Did you know that sunflowers can help clean up contaminated soils? They can absorb and accumulate heavy metals and toxins, effectively detoxing the soil. They not only brighten up the garden, attract pollinators and feed birds. They also contribute to environmental cleanup efforts!

I got the original seeds when I was pregnant with my daughter. She is now 16 years old!
Plant in May in a location that they can climb up. Water often and watch for when they start to vine. They will need direction of where to go!
I like to call this a Meditation plant, as it requires a vining plant that requires to be trained along whatever it is growing on. It is an opportunity to take a moment connect with nature and forget about the world. Then it will grow blooms that turn into pods that grow seeds. Then you can harvest the seeds and have more for next year and share with your friends!
Watermelon Hill

Watermelon Hill
I saved these seeds from all the watermelon juice I made this summer and flowers in my garden!
Plant on the first day of Spring (March 21) after the final frost. Dig a deep hole about 12 inches deep and wide. Add rich soil and make a mound. Plant the seeds in the seeds in the mound spread out from each other. (There are watermelon seeds and flower seeds to attract pollinators!) Water regularly.
This is a great summer project for a Starter Kid Garden and keeping kids engaged!
As the vines grow out, collect grass clippings and leaves to spread around the mound to create a bed for the melons to grow on. Keep an eye out for blooms and baby melons! They will be ready when the little squiggly runner vine dries up. Make sure to save your seeds to plant more! If you tend the plant well and add compost on the roots and cut back old vines, it will continue to reproduce new vines and melons!
