| Hi there,
I moved into my new house this week and it's right in the heart of garden season but I fear too late for a lot of things. For example, I"d like to plant some sunflowers, and have read they are 90 days to maturity. What does everyone think though, if I live in the east bay area where it says warm (70s) until mid to late October? Of course if I could have started earlier, I would have, but can I plant things that take 3 months at this point here in zone 9? Many thanks. I have tons of sun and space to work with. |

| Yes, you can plant sunflowers, cosmos, and amaranth. You may be able to do zinnias- maybe someone else knows about those. I plant amaranth and cosmos every year at this time. Smaller sunflowers usually take less time to bloom. Renee |

| Lots of what you are looking for you may be able to find in four inch pots. They will cost 3 or4 dollars but will save from 6 to 8 weeks growing time. Al |
