Does it matter what the market did today? Not reallyânot compared to what the companies we own will do in the coming years. Why did the stock market go up today? Who knows. Why did the stock market go down today? Who can say? Leave questions about money supply and the Federal Reserve and unemployment rate and all of those airy factors to economists.
Sunflowers grow tall quite rapidly, sometimes stretching up to 6 feet high in only three months, according to Burpee. Staking the plant by tying it to a stiff support relieves stress on the branches and prevents blooms from breaking off the stem.
Temperature. Sunflowers germinate best at a soil temperature of 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Outdoor planting time is typically several weeks after the last spring frost when the soil has warmed thoroughly.unflower seeds are planted one-half inch deep. Because sunflowers are an oil-rich seed, they require slightly more water for germination than many other seeds. This requires watering the ground thoroughly outdoors after planting and not allowing the soil to dry out completely until germination occurs.
