Hi, wasn't too sure if i should of posted this here or in the Sunflower forum,
But, can i plant the two together in the same patch?

By this i mean, i have the main patch for my pumpkin, i was just thinking of putting giant sunflowers around the outside of the patch.
Will they both like growing together? or is it recommended not to?
Cheers.

I grow some sunflowers around the edge of my patch
NE corner, makes a better windbreak than a fence for me,
also runner beans on the east side.
will it cost me weight? who knows?
