[QUOTE="OHJEEZE, post: 3988773, member: 47878"] Having grown sunflowers, there is absolutly no reason to spray sunflowers to kill them. Sunflowers are annuals, and after seed production is done the plant dies (just like corn)! I can not imagine why someone would recomend spraying it for that reason! The seeds naturally dry in the flower heads. If you pick the flower heads leaving the seeds in them, they can mold if not throughly dry. I never really saw much deer trouble with the variety I have grown, because it is quite hard for the deer to reach up 10 feet. I do have a section of stalk in the barn I saved that was used as a buck rub though! If you dont harvest the seeds the birds will! Any birds! You will not catch me intentionally feeding wildlife. (Unless it is lead!) Lol! Sunflower seeds make great chicken feed and people feed! If you get a variety that is open pollenated, you can save seed and replant from your own stock.[ATTACH type="full"]356788[/ATTACH] Ps, The two wire fence is because I have cows. [/QUOTE]
