They have been hardening off outside for a week now. Can I plant them out on the lotty or should I wait until June? They are about 18 inches tall at the moment and they are in 5 inch pots. Should I repot them or will they be okay for the next few weeks as they are?

If there is not going to be another frost plant them out. Who knows?

[foxydan]

well I've done mine, and they're doing well. Guess it depends on where you are.

18 inches  My sunflowers are about 1 inch and are outside but under cover! Will plant out as soon as Im sure of avoiding a significant frost. Hopefully in next couple of weeks.

Every single one of mine got chomped by slugs.  Still I've now worked out that they make a great decoy for brassicas as so far the brassicas next to them in the plastic greenhouse thing have been left (mostly) alone.... I'd sow some more sacrificial sunflowers methinks...

Mine - hundreds of the little things - are all sat sitting in paper pots thinking about the big outside world.

They have had some whiffs of fresh air in the open but belt in around late afternoon. The youngest of the lot are just developing their seed leaves while the oldest are far too advanced at nearly 3" tall.... tall for dwarf Italian whites.

Once the warmer nights are with us they will be sat sitting all along my mum and dad's drive way - reds & pinks, white multi-headed and very dwarf yellows.
My father worried last year when the seeds he was given for Christmas grew into massive monsters and wafted in the wind despite constant staking so it's dwarf and "no worries" this year
