**Planting and Care Guide:**

1. **Selecting a Location:** Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-drained soil. Sunflowers thrive in full sunlight.

2. **Soil Preparation:** Before planting, loosen the soil to a depth of about 6-8 inches and mix in organic matter, such as compost, to improve soil fertility and drainage.

3. **Planting:** Plant the sunflower seeds directly into the soil after the danger of frost has passed, typically in late spring. Sow the seeds 1 inch deep and space them about 6 inches apart.

4. **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the germination period. Once established, sunflowers are moderately drought-tolerant but will benefit from regular watering during dry spells.

5. **Support:** Depending on the variety and height of your sunflowers, you may need to provide support in the form of stakes or trellises to prevent them from toppling over in strong winds.

6. **Fertilization:** Sunflowers are relatively low-maintenance plants but will benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied during the growing season to promote healthy growth and robust blooms.

7. **Pest and Disease Control:** Monitor your sunflowers regularly for signs of pests, such as aphids or birds, and treat as necessary. Good air circulation around the plants can help prevent fungal diseases.

8. **Harvesting:** Once the flower heads have matured and the seeds have turned brown and developed hard shells, cut the heads from the plants and hang them upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area to finish drying. Once completely dry, remove the seeds from the flower heads and store them in a cool, dry place for future use or for feeding birds.
