I’m a RUclips gardener too. I think I may have already messed up. My pole beans and morning glories that I planned to grow up the sunflower and growing so much faster then my sunflowers! Do you have any advice on what I should do now? I may make a trellis out of branches but I’d love to see this work out as is. Thank you for all your help. You have taught me something new.

    If you put more flowers per square foot (4) de roots will prevent weeds to grow there, next year your garden is free of weeds. Sunflowers have lots of small roots and fill the soil completely. 2 sunflowers help to keep snails away from the rest of your garden, snails love sunflowerplants.
