This year I've played with growing sunflowers just for bees bc we used to have a honey bee nest but this year they didn't come back to normal spot so I grew em and I've really enjoyed how much my ol lady has enjoyed em. She don't even bitch about the pollen . So as this show was goin on I was stalking up the cart to grow more this fall. I see now why Mr hoss likes em.

Old goat was a little tougher this week hiding behind Mama Hoss. I sure hope hes able to get out of that wire basket :)

6 to 8 inches? of RAIN? That is what we in Southern Arizona received all year, last year. Holy Moly.

[tommathews]

Y'all getting sneaky on that old goat! I see him, but I won early in the year so I'm out. Fun show tonight! I love all things sunflower! Getting ready to lay in another planting.

[josephprice]

I think the old goat is behind Momma Hoss in the wire basket.

I see a cute little pair of goat horns in the edamame :) Btw Miss Sheila paint some little rocks red with little green painted stems (get those pretty little girls to do them for you) Put them in your strawberry beds. The birds will go after them thinking they're strawberries and realize they're rocks - and they won't trust the real strawberries to not be rocks later and they'll leave them alone! :)

LOVE Y'ALL - you are the BEST DADGUM gardening show on the internet!!! Received my CogHill Sunflower collection, can't wait to get planting!
Can you teach us about dahlias?

[markb]

Looks like the old goat is in the green basket behind Mama Hoss, he's getting pretty good at hiding!!! ✌🏻

[johnhaug]

Great video. Lots of information about sun flowers, thanks.

Oh Thank you Ms Sheila, I made your stuffed peppers with all different kind of Peppers we are growing, They were AMAZING, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING & Im gonna make some more this weekend and Flash freeze them 1st before freezing in a freezer saver bags so they dont stick together,
I want a dehydrator but they are out of our budget, Im doubling if not tripling our Onions this fall & planning our spring Garden already as With prices, Im worried alot more people are gonna buy more seeds .
So this fall I will be ordering forsure 600 onions possibly 800 Creole Red & Texas Sweet with more Ammonium Sulfate get it all at once ....
My Mixed peppers are amazing & our sunflowers are taller then our Deck which is tall - they are some shorter, I think those were the Jackle mix, but the others oh my at least 12 feet tall ....I will send in pictures.
