Emily's Sunflower Garden
I recently decided to plant some sunflowers. Well, as it turns out I have more time on my hands than I thought (that is, before I started
summer school and my job), and six sunflower seeds from two varieties turned into 12 varieties of over 100 seeds. As my interest
grew, I started looking for sunflower information on the web, but didn't find much. This is my first reason for making this page. The
second reason is the vanity of a first-time gardener who assumes the general populace finds information about her "babies" as
facinating as she does. :-) Enjoy!

Links
My mammoth index of links: Sunflower links, other gardening links and my own favorite places on the web. Includes an index of botanical gardens, water and butterfly gardening links, and links to my favorite authors. This index is under construction. In order to provide only worthwhile links and give information about most of them, it's taking me awhile to finish this particular part of the page. Please be patient.
