Just watched your clip here in East Sussex UK. There was a local sunflower competition so thought I would order some seeds ! Great video X
I watched it in NE England. It was very informative, but I wonder, don't you have slugs and snails in New Jersey. If I planted direct from seed, the chances of many surviving are pretty slim.
Hello from Alberta 🇨🇦
New Orleans,Louisiana
@@alancarney4344 Hello Alan Carney how are you doing today?
I have grown sunflowers in Nigeria in my garden! They give me thrill watching them grow from seeds!
I agree with you . Sunflowers give me a thrill too as I see them grow 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🤗🤗🤗
Wow! Thank you for checking in all the way across the globe from Nigeria! 🌸😊🌻🤗🌍👏
Greetings from America!
They are so beautiful and remind me of my mama who passed away five years ago to breast cancer.They give me so much joy!
What challenges did you have in Nigeria? My garden in Capitola, CA is near a river and forest and squirrels got most of mine! 🌻🙄
One morning my neighbor just spread the seeds in front of my house. I wasn't a fan of sunflower, but I just let it grow. Turns out , it flowers beautifully. Everyone passing in front my house will stop for a minute to look at them. Now I want to grow more... #ThankYouNeighbor #Indonesia
Hi Fikri, thank you for the wonderful sunflower story. I’ll bet they looked amazing ! 🌻🌻🌻🌻😊😊
A young woman always gives me a plant, I wasn't a fan, but the third time she gave it to me I planted it with extra care ,now its blooming and am getting to like it
He was like johnny appleseed just spreading everywhere lol
Make sure you don't have any chickens watching you plant these. I got down to the end of the row; only to look up and see my pet chickens scratching up my seeds and eating them. Guess they thought Mama was hiding them there for them to find.
Hey Happy Honey 41, that’s so funny . 😃You must have been like wait whaaaa??? I love chickens , need to get some for the farm one day. Do you get a lot of eggs from them ? 🌸😊
They’ll do the same thing to glass gem corn as well, both are very nutritious so if you grow extra for them I’m sure they won’t mind.
HappyHoney41 That is so funny! What has started me on the sunflower path is throwing out what I assumed to be spent seeds from our birds and now have them growing up everywhere! Early days and I'll have to replant the seedlings so I hope they don't mind being moved. I'm in South Africa so we're just going into Summer.
Omg....
Oh how funny.
I inherited an old farmhouse from a family member. He used to grow flowers and peppers, so I decided I was gonna start growing sunflowers and sell them to the market! Just like he did to make him proud:) and to remember him :) thank you for your video I am trying to do this thing right:)
Hi Paige, that is such a beautiful story . What a wonderful way to remember your friend . You are very welcome for the sunflower tips . Let me know if i can help you in your sunflower growing adventure . Good luck 😀🌺
❤
That's lovely 🌻❣️🌻
Its amazing.I hated sunflowers when I was a kid.they were weeds to me then.now I love them.they make me think I didnt have such a bad childhood after all. I love you, Dad and Mom
Such a sweet sentiment to your dad and mom. Thank you for sharing that 🌻🌻🌻👍
I rather sunflower versus thistle. I hate thistle/artichoke. I had a friend whose mother was in love with thistle. Let's just say I could never go to his house.
most underrated plant, easy to grow, resistant to disease and beautiful
I agree with you . Such an amazing flower . 🌻🌻🌻
The squirles ate all the heads off my sunflowers lol
Look at all those happy bees!
Planted the mammoth sunflowers. They are easy to take care of and very beautiful. I would watch the bees going from flower to head to head knowing that their work is not in vain. The grew 18 ft tall and had seed faces 18-23 inches wide. People walking by loved to look at them.
I’m only 15 but I love Sunflowers. Imma try to grow some and I needed some tips. 🌻. Hopefully they survive in Arizona weather. ❤️
That sounds like an awesome idea! I'm going to grow some this year too. I hope the heat there doesn't cause you any trouble and you get some beautiful flowers :)
Yay! More kids growing too!
Make sure they get lots of water but once they’re established they are drought tolerant!! Good luck!
Hi Mia 👋👋 Wishing you the best for your sunflowers this summer , glad the video was helpful 🌻🌻☀️☀️
Thank you for checking in from Arizona 🌸👍👋🌎🤗
As an aspiring gardener in colorado im so happy you made this video. Thank you so much, the spacing information is so helpful!!!
Just realise how long i have been followed you. Watching Ahao grow up, Dawang be fatten up and your baking skill level up over years has been one of my great joys.
Hi! I'm from Guam about to plant my first ever flowers from seeds - sunflowers! I've watched videos and I'm testing out incubating the seeds versus directly planting them into soil. So excited to see the difference and hopefully have my own flower garden started! (I only have non-flowering plants so far) Thank you for the video! 🌻
Hi Karina👋
I'm glad you liked the video! Thank you for checking in from Guam and wishing you all the best for your sunflowers and garden 🌻🌸 !!
I'm working on finding that peaceful place inside myself 💯
Sending you peaceful vibes to find that peace 🌻🌻
I bought sunflower seeds from Home Depot today. I want to grow them because the sunflower is Ukraine’s national flower. Their resistance against Russia has inspired me to get into gardening. I’ll have to wait a little while to plant them but I’m excited!!
Hi Koby, way to turn a negative into a positive . Loved your comment and spirit . Wishing you loads of sunflower blooms and sending prayers for peace in the Ukraine 🇺🇦.
watching from north bay , ontario. have always wanted to grow sunflowers and never knew they were so maintenance free. i will be dropping about 20 seeds next april
So happy to read this . Make sure there is no more threat if frost and that the ground has a chance to warm up . I know it gets cold by you so maybe wait until mid May to plant . One year I planted hundreds of seeds too soon in the season and did not have a good crop .
Thanks for checking in from Ontario 🌸🌍👏🤗👋🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
One of the best intros to a gardening video I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing! Awesome video.
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate that Zane 🌸😊
I’ve always wanted to plant sunflowers but didn’t even know where to start but now I do!! Thank you for the info and OMG your sunflowers are gorgeous
Thank you so much flower friend , so glad to hear the video was helpful ! Wishing you all the best with your sunflowers 🌻🌻🌻
Hi - what varieties are we looking at in this video?
Always love Sunflower " happy smile " next farm. This year start planted some back yard garden. Look like Sunflower like clay soil & zone 7. Wow , all those leaf large size looks so happy with sunshine. 👍😃😃
I have my sunflowers growing in my windowsill right now and thinking im going to plant them outside soon. Very excited.
You are smart and pretty...
Thank you for your kind comment 🌻🌻🌻
I am very familiar with thinning ... it started with my scalp! LOL
Great informative video Kelly👍
Haaaa, that’s great Frank . Thanks for your kind (and witty 😃) comment 👏👏🌸
I fell in love with this blonde sunflower 🌻 ❤😅😊
I Love Sun Flowers ♥️♥️♥️
Same here🌻
@@KellyLehman How are you doing today? Kelly Lehman
Something about a pile of sunflowers that just makes you smile huh! So pretty. My chickens lose their minds when I give them a big ole head full of seeds to pick out. They especially love the fresh seeds over bagged seeds.
i’m planning a sunflower take over in my neighborhood to help our soil and bees. Finna start plant these at night in secrecy 😳
Ohh wow , sounds like your neighborhood will be bursting with sunflower joy soon. The bees will love it . I’ll bet the neighbors will too
Rewatched video. I love all the great tips. Sunflowers are my favorite flowers.
I love sunflowers too 🌻 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 🌸😊
East TN and enjoying your sunflowers.
Thank you for checking in from Tennessee 🌸👍👋🌎🤗
best flowers to grow in Oklahoma, I love them.
Sunflowers are great here too 🌻 Thank you for checking in from Oklahoma 🌸👍👋🌎🤗
I’m in Tennessee. I just harvested my very first sunflower. I have a 6x30 zinnia and cosmos bed. My novice self hung bird feeders nearby. They planted tons of black oil sunflowers. I just let them grow. I harvested it in the “cracking bud stage” so I’m excited to watch it unfurl. Thanks for the helpful video!
She seems like such a sweet woman. I'm getting started on planting small pots of flowers and I hope this channel can help! Subscribed :)

I'm in Georgia viewing this. I have 2 week old sunflower sprouts that I'm growing for my moms birthday and for years to come. I can't wait. Thank your for the information.
Hey there BoltofLightning. Thanks for checking in from Georgia 👋🌍 So happy to hear you have you sunflowers started already . What an amazing gift for your mom . I’m sure she will just love them . And , yes, I’ll bet you grow these for years and years to come . They get addicting once you see them come up once . Happy growing flower friend 🌸😊
I'm planting a Sunflower and I'm super excited about it. Sunflowers need lots of water and sunlight.
Good luck with your new sunflowers . Yep you are sooo right about them needing lots of sunlight and water . 🌻🌻🌻🌻☺️

Our pleasure! I agree , NJ does have awesome people , pizza and veggies . Bagels are pretty awesome here too . However , I see you are in California now so i bet you are loving the winters there much better than frozen NJ 🌸😊🤗
Watching from Philippines 😊 Lately I started love sunflower so im planning to plant my own drawf sunflower , hopefully it will grow 😊😊
I live in NC, and just planted my first sunflower seeds 4 days ago. They're already growing!! I'm so excited.
That is exciting ! Wishing you the beautiful blooms this summer 🌻

Thank you for checking in from central Texas 🤗🌸👍🌎👋
I am in Phoenix Arizona and I'm going to start growing Sunflowers based on what I learned from you today😁
So happy to hear that 🌸❤️
The Evening sunflowers seeds are beautiful in crimson, yellow,orange,rust, pinky yellow shades. They have baby buds about 2 inches close to first head that opened . I am a first timer put in a pots and forgot them to close together had to transplant to big pots as I discovered my garden has rocky crappy dirt. Right now it’s September 1 and they are 8 feet in a giant pot. Huge learning lesson for next year.
I'm in Spring Valley, CA and Thank You for this information. I love Sunflowers!!!
Me too Linda 🌻🤗Nothing like a gorgeous sunflower to make your day 💃💃💃
Hello Linda how are you doing today?
Thanks for the video. Sunflowers is something that I really like!! thanks for the tips!
Sure thing . Thank you for your wonderful comment .🌻☺
Thanks for the help, your a wonderful Teacher. You got a beautiful sunflower garden
You are too kind . Thank you 🌸🌸
@@KellyLehman KELLY, I’m here at my sons house in Moore Oklahoma, we are getting ready to plant his plants and garden in couple of weeks, I showed him your beautiful Sunflowers he loved them so I’m starting seeds in jiffy pots using Mammoth Russian sunflowers. I’ll let you know how they come out. Happy planting
Great video thanks and best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
Hi Mark 👋 Thank you for checking in from Ireland 🌸👍🇮🇪🌎🤗 I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video !
You are outstanding in your field!🌻🐞🦋🐞🌻
Hi Patricia, thank you for your witty comment . I love plays on words .👏👏🙂
That's a nice bunch of sunflowers. Reminds me of the sunflower fields I saw motorcycling down through France last year. You have inspired me to fill my front garden ( Whitefield in Manchester UK) with them this summer.
Oh so happy to hear that . What a beautiful memory you have of the sunflower fields in France . Amazing . Glad you are planting them this year . You will love them . 🌸
I was looking for a sunflower farm but there's none near my city in El Paso, TX. I have to drive days to get to one. I'm going to take these tips to plant my own sunflowers. Not a whole farm but at least a few of them😅. My grandmother would plant them in front of her house when I was a kid but I didn't get a chance to learn from her. I see her whenever I see sunflowers. Thank you so much. 🥰
Hi from Minnesota. Am going to plant sunflowers from seed (Renee's Garden brand) for the first time. A few very tall ones (12' - 14') called Heirloom Titan and a mix of 6' - 8' version called The Birds & Bees Sunflowers that apparently are attractive to songbirds and pollinators. Because squirrels in my neighborhood love to dig up anything and everything, I'm building a very simple frame with scrap lumber to place netting over the area until the seeds can establish and the plants gain some strength/height first. I have good memories of seeing huge fields of sunflowers in North Dakota growing up. Thank you for the planting tips and sharing your expertise in this great video!
Hi Trent , so excited for your new sunflower venture . You have a great plan in putting the protection over the new sunflower 🌻 sprouts . That’s when they are most attractive to the critters . I’ll bet your sunflower field comes in amazing !
Thank you for your comment . I Love hearing about our flower tribe’s flowers from all over the country ( and world) .
👍🌻🌻🌻
Thank you for checking in from Minnesota 🌻🌻🌻🌻👍🌎🌻👏
So beautiful!
Thank you for your kind comment Gina☺🌺
Lol I just watched another video of yours about sunflower tips and I knew as soon as I heard your voice that you were a Jersey girl and it has now been confirmed! 🌻✨
Haaa yes it’s hard to hide a NJ accent. You also probably picked up my Long Island NY accent too. I was born and raised there and that’s a hard one not to hear too 😃🌸
Sunflowers are so beautiful ❤️
I agree 🌻🌻🌻
Thanks a lot Kelly. I love gardening. Your tips are so important. Thanks for that.
Well you just made my day . Thank you for that ! 🙂🌺
Hi Kelly,
Just found your channel, as I was searching for tips on growing sunflower seeds, because, as we're on lockdown for our 5th week here in England, I'm going to plant some with my 3yr old grandson, whom I care for.
You take care Kelly, and keep safe at this worrying time....
Ian 🙏
Hey there Mr. R , Welcome to our Flower Tribe 🌺🙂! Such a fun activity to do with your grandson. I'm sure he will cherish the memories of growing sunflowers with his grandfather his entire life . Well done 👏🌻
Thank you for checking in from England 👋🌍☺
Thanks Kelly, I hope so, as I take being a grandfather an honour, and the best "job" I've ever had!👍
And thank you for welcoming me to your channel, and taking the time to reply🙏
We've just walked the dog along the deserted riverside, as the sun is going down over our little English Market Town (Stokesley, dating back to the Domesday Book, 1086AD)🏴🏰🏹🛡️
Looking forward to watching and learning more from your videos, thanks again. 😀👋
So nice hearing of your stroll in England . You are blessed to be so grateful for your grandfather roll . I’m looking forward to being a grandparent one day . I’ll bet it’s glorious. Thank you for your kind comments they made my day 🙏🌸
Ah, and thank you for your kind words too, Kelly. I always say, "It costs nothing to be nice", and even though its not always reciprocated, that doesn't matter. However, its lovely to see others who have that outlook too, like yourself🙏😉
And yes,. I'm sure you're going to absolutely love being a grandparent, and you'll be able to teach your grandchildren all about horticulture, and in doing so, are teaching them such valuable lessons AS, careing, nurturing, and probably the hardest for the little ones to master, PATIENTS! 🤣🤣🤣
"ARE THEY GROWN YET?...."
Ha ha🤦🏻♂️😂
I was a single dad who brought up 2 beautiful daughter, and am now truly blessed with 4 amazing little grandchildren 💕💕💕💕 whom I try to give any wisdom that I might have gained in life, to help them get through life a little easier🙏
Right, I'm so sorry for rabbiting on, it's the Lockdown-Syndrome kicking in! My messages are seeming to be getting longer to everyone, sorry! ☺️
I'll bid you farewell Kelly, and pray that you and your family stay safe at this testing time.
Ian 🙏
I've just started growing my sunflowers and I hope they can turn out like yours! I live in Dubai so they are a good choice of flower since there is lots of sunshine. Thank you for the informative video!
Hi Harriet , oh that’s so exciting for me to think of sunflowers growing in Dubai. Amazing ! I’ll bet you can grow them year round too since temps are so warm. Thank you for sharing that 👏👏😊🌸
Thank you for checking in from Dubai🌍👋. Welcome to our Flower Tribe 😊🌸
Oh that’s cool! Since quarantine my mum had some spare seeds from her school so she got them and others for me to grow! Day 4 now and they are bigger than my finger already! I live in Dubai too
I just started a TH-cam channel from inspiration from both of you! It’s called Morti Organic and I’m making a series on sunflowers
I planted just about as many as she did here last year, and they were great. Had a hurricane come through in NC that knocked a lot of them down. This year. No lie. Squirrels have eaten every single one of the sprouts , not just digging for seed , which they have, but once sprouted they have been eating the tops of them, I only have two rows left, and this is my 4th attempt this summer.
They are easy to grow....but they are also easy for squirrels to dig up and feast on! 😉 we have many pesky squirrels!
Let me know where in this big beautiful world you are viewing this from. I love to see how our Flower Tribe is growing around the world each week!
can we make the sunflowers a medicine?

Viewing from the Philippines! 😍
HAHAH I just watched some guy get so emotional and confused thinning his pumpkins (even though he grows pumpkins forever now) and this pretty girl being so straightforward and just thinning them easy peasy 😂😂 love itttttt thanks!
Her energy is so fresh and masculine but she’s still so girly and attractive. Ugh 🌸
So beautiful. You inspired me to grow these beauties. Hope I'm successful. I live in NW IN and its still pretty cool here. Waiting for it to warm up🙌
Hi Marie, so happy to hear that . You will love them ! You are smart to wait for the ground to warm up a bit . Wishing you lots of sunflower love this season ! 🌻🌻🌻🌻☺️☺️❤️❤️

Wonderful!. SO happy to hear that .

Thanks for the tips! We grew Mongolian giant sunflowers this year. Watching from Indiana!
Hey there Indiana thanks for checking in 👋🌎 How tall did those crazy sunflowers of yours grow ? I’ll bet they were giants ! 💃💃🌻🌻🌻🌻
@@KellyLehman they turned out crazy big! I just posted a video of them. We collected quite a few seeds for next year
Wow lovely sunflowers
Like it
Thanks for the tips kelly they really help!
Thanks Slushie. Love your TH-cam name 🌺😀
Thank you for this! I'm also in NJ. I have been planting sunflowers for years by just broadcasting them - just to add color to the property. This year I'm preparing to plant a larger area, so placing them intentionally in rows may be a better way to go. Hoping to share my results on YT also. Definitely will be following your lead!
So happy to hear you are already in the sunflower know . I’ll bet when you broadcast the seeds for the color pop it really does the trick . Rows are awesome too .
I planted Russian Mammoths in a row where the rain drops off the roof, making a little river. Cant wait!
Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭❤
Sunflower is my favorite flower🌻
So nice to hear that ! I love sunflowers too 🤗

Hi Kelly! What's the best type of soil for growing sunflower at home? Thank you so much! 🌻
Hi Julyssa, sunflowers grow in most kinds of soil as long as it is not super wet. They seem to prefer soils that are slightly acidic to somewhat alkaline (pH 6.0 to 7.5). Wishing you lots of sunflower blooms this year
Nice to find a fellow Jersey sunflower enthusiast. I`m from Howell NJ formally of Jamesburg. I learned a lot from this video Kelly. My kids and I are planting our first garden this spring. Growing up in Elizabeth NJ like I did I don`t have much gardening knowledge. Your videos have been a God send. I have subscribed to your channel and looks forward to seeing more videos.
Very cool! A big welcome to you and your kids to our Flower Tribe !

Hi Kelly, great video! I’m in Rhode Island looking to plant my first patch of sunflowers trying to decide between single-stem and branching. I know so much depends on preference, but which of each type would you recommend? Looking for a tall and easy varieties. Thanks!
Hi Evan , I prefer the single head sunflowers since they are beat for my bouquets but the multi heads look terrific in the garden since they have so much color. I love them both 🌻🌻😊
Thank you for checking in from Rhode Island👋🌍😊
My brother is getting married in October, by my grandma's lake in a beautiful field. We want to have sunflowers in the field, if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
How is it going?

My wife and I are going to try growing sunflowers now!
Oh that’s so wonderful to hear ! Made my day. You guys will love them ! 🌻🌻🌻😊
When you are thinning, can you transplant the ones you take out somewhere else?
Super Sunflower question Lianne. Yes you can . Try to dig down deep though so you capture most of the root and transplant immediately into welcoming soil in a sunny spot . Give the transplants a shot of water to get them settled in .
Thank you for watching my sunflower care video🌻🌸🌸🤗

@@KellyLehman - if you plan to transplant, it’s best to thin & transplant in the evening so the plant isnt cooked by the sun. If possible, use old discarded plasric pots & cover too. Chance of success greatly increases.
Beautiful! Sunflowers are nice too.
Omg!!! I just learned sooooo much!!!Thanks-a-billion
I'm glad you found the video helpful 🌸😊
What kind of soil do they need and why do my seedling start to die when I put on full sun? Love from the Caribbean
Hey There, Though they're not too fussy, sunflowers like slightly acidic to somewhat alkaline soil (pH 6.0 to 7.5). They are heavy feeders, so the soil should be nutrient-rich with organic matter or composted manure. You can also work in a slow release granular fertilizer 8 inches deep into your soil.
I have a feeling that the heat in your neck of the woods may be hindering growth.
Try planting them in an area that gets morning sun and then some afternoon shade .
Good luck . Let me know how they turn out this year . 😊🌸
Thank you for checking in fro the Caribbean 🌍👋😊 Welcome to our Flower Tribe 🌻🌻🌻😊
Hi. Greetings from Trinidad.I have clay soil where I live but I water my sunflowers regularly and I use epsom salts.😄
My son's teacher gave him some mammoth sunflower seeds, I planted 2 in a container not thinking they would grow, now they're both close to 4ft tall and I can see the heads developing😳... the container is too small, is it too late to transfer to the ground or a bigger container?
Super question. These gals are going to have long root systems so I would try to either transplant them to a super large pot or better yet into the ground in a sunny location . Try to get the entire soil around the plant transplanted too so the roots stay in tact . Make sure your home is large enough. Good luck 👍🍀
They are absolutely beautiful
Thank you Britt Marie 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Thanks for this video Kelly x
Sure thing Shweta 🌸🌸🤗
I like that sunflower seed while watching movie
So happy you liked them . Such a happy flower to watch 🌻🌻🌻😊😊
Have you ever seen a snake right where you are, I will be so afraid to get in the field to film and get bit by a snake.
I have seen many snakes and find that they are much more terrified of me than I am of them so they skedaddle pretty fast .
That is so cool, thanks a lot for sharing!!!!
That was great! Thank you from North Charleston, SC!
