Trudi--  You have inspired me again. I have this bag of scarlet runner beans
(could not figure out where to put them..) that would just love to get their
little tendrils around the 4th generation corn just planted in next to the
sqft beds. Quite right, yes, quite right. have a great day Trudi!

| Hi Katherine,
|
| Since I was a child I have always considered sunflowers to be "plant
| people" when they grow in my garden. They're always large and have big
| shoulders with smiling faces. It isn't so much that they GROW there but
| rather more that they DWELL there.
|
| As your sunflowers will grow large you could grow them along the
| northern perimeter of your garden, where they won't shade any smaller
| flowers with their size, or you can grow them in a row of their own,
| which is always nice. A row of sunflowers is will become an instant
| hedge, it will provide you with some temporary screening. Wherever you
| grow them do take advantage of that their "feet" will soon be in the
| shade of their own leaf canopy. Use this space to try growing some cool
| season veggies, like lettuces and spinach. You could also "pretty them
| up" with some morning glories. Morning glories are real easy to grow
| too, just pop the seeds into the soil and they come up with a little
| rain and then some sunshine. Ideally you could sow the seeds for both
| the sunflowers and the morning glories at the same time, the sunflowers
| germinate very quickly and will be up in just a few short days, the
| morning glories will be up about a week later and they'll have the
| sunflowers right there to start climbing on when they both get big enough.
