This is the first year that the kids and I are participating in The Great Sunflower Project and the first year we've ever tried to grow sunflowers. We planted the packet of seeds we received for the project - the wild sunflower - along with the three sunflower plants we already had growing thanks to a storytime session. Other than the rabbits chewing up one of the library sunflower plants, everything has been growing just fine. Well, except for one thing. The seeds that we received for the project are growing into what look suspiciously like pumpkin plants. We're also growing pumpkins in our garden and have done that for the past few years, so we're familiar with what they look like. There's not a chance any seeds were mixed up because they were kept separate and weren't even planted on the same day, so I started to wonder if there might be a type of sunflower that grows differently than other "typical" sunflowers. Haven't been able to find any, though, so I thought I'd throw it out to any of you who might be more knowledgeable or experienced.
