Sunflowers ?

[kdog]

Twice I have run across a thread about growing sunflowers and needing more space to grow them . 

Then I discovered our city is allowing urban agriculture in all zones. 

We have sunflower plots around in the country, but I thought this one request was weird.  

Around 65% of the annual sunflower market is grown in Ukraine and Russia. With the war going on and the market price already high for sunflower oil, the value of sunflower crops this year will likely be historically profitable.

The Louisville Land Development Code was recently amended to allow urban agriculture in all zones (Zoning District Land Use Table pg. 250). On 4/15/2022 Agrinet Theory LLC will begin providing microfarm landscaping services to Louisville residents, with a special focus on sunflowers.

Very interesting.

I do not have a green thumb. My harvest is always hit or miss. I had an amazing year of roses of every color, even lavender. I had a year that my wildflowers did extremely well, then we had a hurricane and I still see remnants of my wildflowers all over my neighbors yards.

I was so surprised that my sunflower crop did so well and I had about four or five different varieties. So they really are not that hard to grow.

I may put some in the ground this year. If for no other reason than they are truly delightful to have around.

Little miss d has some started and we shall see how they go. But I found this strange that more people are wanting to grow them.
