Going to plant mine out at the weekend, almost a foot tall and taking up too much room. Got about 20, goodness knows where I'm going to put them all  :blink:

Hey DG, the forecast is for frost over Scotland at the weekend especially up your way. Sunflowers are not totally impervious to frost so be careful. :) You 've only got 20 on the go after all.  :tongue2: ::) :D



Spelling. ::)

My daughter Charlotte would like to join in.  Neither of us have ever grown sunflowers before, but we have bought a plant your own type pot from Asda and she has 3 seedlings that are currently on the front window about 2 inches tall.

I'm hoping my chucks will enjoy the end result.

So, my fellow competitors, do you have any tips for a sunflower newbie?

If not slugs what else like to chomp sunflowers?  I planted 3 out into my beds, one of mine is nearly demolished, and its not slugs.
