Mine are just poking through in the unheated greenhouse.

Going to sling them outside before they get too reliant on the extra warmth.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Can you sling them outside now DD? Are they frost hardy? (Sorry for cluttering up the thread  :nowink: )

They are hardy annuals and will stand a bit of overnight frost.

Trust me!  :tongue2:

No problems with questions & updates, just try to keep the thread clear of chatter.

Can you put me in please. I have just sown some seeds today. They are for the Grandkids so wont be planted in my own garden. Is this within the rules?

just thought i would let everyone know that my local homebargains had giant sunflower seeds for 39p, should have been £3.99, they also had giant pumpkin seed for the same price - dont know if its nationwide, but it more that likely is :D - by the way it was the suttons fun to grow range.
