how do you dead head sun flowers

I don't...I leave them for the birds - who adore them!!

If you can reach and they've finished flowering, snip the heads off and leave out for the birds. or if they're too high leave them on for the birds to help themselves.

You just pipped me to the post there alzhimer,

Yes - quite! I am beginning to think there are as many bird and animal lovers as plant lovers on this forum!!!

If the heads are in the way where they are cut off part way down the stem, tie them all together and hang up somewhere for the birds to eat - they LOVE sunflower seeds.

Alzheimer my take is if you are interested in growing things you are probably interested in all of nature.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Moongrower! Interest in gardening usually leads to interest in related stuff, like birds, etc.

Yup Bamboo - basically I think we care about he planet as a whole!
