Liz,
A couple of follow-up sunflower questions:
1. What type of spacing do you plant the Double-Shines at?
2. Source for the seed?
3. Yield in number of saleable stems per plant/acre
4. Days to harvest/length of harvest
5. Has anybody tried to sell sunflowers to restaurant accounts along
with greens and veggies?
