Just looking at beautiful sunflowers bursting with vibrant colors can boost happiness and joy, and conventional wisdom says the plants are easy to grow. But if you live in an area with birds, chipmunks, rabbits, and squirrels, plus cutworms or other pests, that's actually not true. Suburban wildlife often eats the seeds as soon as you plant them, or mows down young seedlings before they have had a chance to take root.
In this video Sandra Levine outlines some of her new tips for growing gorgeous sunflowers in her New Jersey yard. Her solutions may not look pretty, but they work. (You're going to needs LOTS of cloches and chicken wire!)
Gardening is beneficial to your physical and mental health. You might also try growing other types of flowers, or delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables.
