whats the use of growning sunflowers
i mean do they bear any friuts or some thing ?
i've heard of sunflower oil  surely you dont grow them for that
or do people grow them for ordamental reasons i dont know i dont see the point in growing them.

but this challenge sounds about the only good reason for growning them.
am i too l8 to get some started now do you think.
i'll have a go just for the fun of it.

Seeds. Birds.

Nuff said.

They look so majestic so high up (well mine do  ) and it isn't too late to sow if you don it now.  Just invest in a neck brace for the crick you will get looking up at them

You can always eat the seeds if the birdies don't get them or the tree rats

Hey my daughter and I have just planted our ten footers in the Peak District so we are in.  Lets hope we get a sunny summer. My chicken poo and manure should do the trick..

Worst thing you can put on it Mark. Can't tell you why. It's a secret but if you plant them in 3ft of water and cut the tops off, they really do well

Mine are ready to go out but I only have 8m of fleece to cover them  .

[mumofstig]

got plenty of fleece for mine, as only 1 germinated so far.
Must be the only true posting for a while  there's a lot of long noses out there

Mine are 6' high now. Thickening up well and with a few sets of leaves.

We have a magic airing cupboard. 100% germination rate so far. I blame the high humidity in there.
