April showers bring May flowers but what does July bring? ~
Q and A - with - Dos Gringos
Q: So glad you asked!
A: July brings a great deal of planning and planting. As you know, the fall season is our busiest time of the year. Our Sunflowers take center stage so we are planting like crazy to insure an abundant fall harvest.
Q: You mentioned planning and planting quite a bit. Why is that so important? A: The days of throwing a bunch of seed in the ground and selling them the day before you harvest them are over. We are at a point in our industry where the margin for error is very slim. We rely on quite a bit of data to insure we plant the correct varieties for the right weeks. We tabulate reports from years past, reach out to all our clients, and huddle up as a team to come up with the most comprehensive weekly planting plan for fall.
Q: How is that going?
A: So far so good. (Please be nice to us this summer, Ms. Mother Nature!) Here are some fun pictures of our Suns in full bloom with each variety listed. Enjoy!
We are constantly testing seed to improve our current Sunflower Varieties. These are all the Sunbeam varieties. Believe it or not these are all different varieties of our green center sunflowers (here’s a hint, you can tell by the petal structure.)




Beautiful red bi-color Sunflowers…perfecto for fall.

AND our ever popular dark-centered Sunflower…
