I had seen Sledd’s U-Pick Farm pop up on my Facebook awhile ago and, like I always do, added it to my never ending list of places to go in Florida. The flowers typically bloom in April/May, so I’ve been patiently awaiting their arrival. I simultaneously was waiting for the perfect opportunity to tell my boyfriend that I wanted to drive 50 minutes from his house in Deland to pick sunflowers from a field. That window of opportunity arose when he told me he wanted to watch two basketball games in a row during March Madness and in return he “owed me.” PERFECT!
