A bit late, like everything else… but I found some old sunflower seed and thought I would give it a go the other week. I have had semi success with it. I have no idea how big they will grow, but I expect they are mini sunflowers left over from last year. Time will tell.

Always Time for Sunflowers
An autumn display of sunflowers, they are now starting to go multi-headed too! Each year they put on a fab show, these smaller different coloured ones are much more exciting than the normal large ones.

Pale Sunflowers

I Worry about the Sunflowers
I made a mistake and positioned this seed tray in the bedroom where I thought there would be a lot of sunlight but it seemed maybe there was not. You see here a number of sunflower seedlings all looking they straggly and unable to stand up by themselves. Even with the support of the drinking [...]

Sunflowers of all types
While the tomato plants are doing really well, the giant sunflowers and sweet peas have yet to show. I am wondering if we will ever see anything of these, it was old seed I used (I mean around 5 years old) and so possibly it was not a good idea. Time will tell, and stil [...]
