Oooo...yeah, if only you were close enough that we could swap soil! I'll take some of yours and you can have some of mine. If we mixed them together, maybe we'd average out, eh?The plant will keep producing male flowers.
Can I give you two pH points from my blueberry bed? I just hope I can lower the pH before the plants say the heck with it and die. I'm doing what I can with peat moss and soil acidifier.
I just assumed that all the oak leaves and coffee grounds were making/keeping the soil acidic. Nope. Got a pH meter. It's about 6.8. Poor blueberries....!
I've heard that sunflowers can inhibit growth of other plants (like black walnut tree has inhibiting effect, which I've had experience with). I've had butternut squash grow just fine last year next to them though - so I don't know exactly what they don't get along with...so maybe research/polling is needed.I have a bunch of BOSS seedlings and now I can't decide where I should put them. I do have a few spaces between my tomatoes and onions but I did that last year and the sunflowers fell over my tire planters due to wind. Became a huge annoyance. I don't really have anyway to stake them up back there.... I'm also worried if I plant them there, they will block the sun for the tomatoes because they (the tomatoes) wouldn't get the morning sun anymore.
Well, grrr.... Maybe I should move them to the west side of the hoop house. I have nasturtiums and dill over there, but I could squeeze them in between.... Not sure how either of those would fair next to sunflowers though?
