| So, I'm delighted that my sunflowers are 2-3 ft. tall and healthy. I have some basil, parsley, and tomatoes growing adjacent. A friend was touring the garden and said, "Dude, you need to move that stuff. Sunflowers give off a weird toxin and things growing too close will die."
Help? I'm a relatively newbie. Is my friend true? Should I move the plants? |

| Never heard of it, never seen it. Maybe your dude-friend has been smoking sunflowers or something. ;-) Actually, I think I know what he's talking about, got his facts a bit confused, and some quick 'n' basic research with your favorite search engine will give you the answer. |

| I posed a question recently that brought around similar conversation. There is a link in this thread that might help. Scroll down to luvmydaisies reply. It is regarding the hulls from the seeds...but maybe that was what your friend was thinking. Kristy :) |
