How Well Do You Know a Sunflower





How well do you know a sunflower?......

Beautiful Sunflowers on a sunny Day

I bet you know?
  • that sunflowers attract the birds and the bees? 
  • and some varieties have edible seeds.

But did you know this about them?

  • they are drought tolerant and easy to grow!
  • they eliminate toxins from the soil - such as lead, arsenic & uranium!
  • they were planted at Chernobyl and Fukushima to absorb caesium-137 and strontium-90 from the water table.
Just some more reasons to love the Sunflower!   I think I will be planting LOTS this year, how about you?

I have one more request TODAY.....can you click on this link
and see if it takes you to our website we are testing....  VEGGIEFELLA CSA and UPICK 

Please let me know if you got there!
Thank-you!
