    I'm interested in answers to this question, too!! Planting a sunflower bed in our youth garden at the Extension office.

    Once the sunflowers have been pollinated then tie a trash bag over the top of the head. 

    It's best if you can leave the heads without bags on them and then just cut them off the stalk once the seeds have formed and the heads have dried, but birds will always beat you to them!
