| Last time I grew sunflowers, I noticed many of the seeds shells were rather thin, and when I went to crack them, many of the seeds inside were either very thin, or even non-existent... just a papery film inside it. Has anyone seen this before? Any idea what causes this? I am growing more this year and would like to avoid that. |

| did you grow a named variety??? for some reason they may have been sterile?? .. which is one of the possibilities.. in growing un-named seedligns... the only other option is lack of fertilization ... for whatever reason ... like extreme high heat at that particular moment ... ken |

| Yeah, the heat may be the culprit. Being here in Texas it was probably consistently over 100 when that happened. I had bought a package of "Mammoth" sunflower. |
