Planting Sunflower Seeds

This winter I thought I would plant some sun flower seeds to watch them grow.  I live in Central Pennsylvania (zone 5).  Well they eventually died.  I think I did not give them the right amount of light. 

Now it is the end of May, hopefully the threat of frost is over, and I am starting again. 

I planted these seeds 2 weeks ago.  I planted to in each area.  I got these planters from discount plants that I planted in my garden.  I added to soil from our yard, as well as some sand that landed out of the sandbox and mixed it together. 

I bought the seeds online this winter.  So far so good.  There is something eating the leaves.  If that continues I will need to move them.  I will keep you updated on the progress. 

Does anyone know how to stake up sunflowers?  What is what I need to do next.
