Thankyou so so much ajn! And everyone else that participates & shares really thoughtful kind words, it makes me smile and gives me a boost for which I’m very very thankful for. Your sunflower seeds ajn look good and your current set up sounds spot on, I’m going to start mine in pots and then transfer them to the garden in the hopes they grow lovely big and tall. I’m also trying to grow some red peppers from seed ? so far that’s proved fruitless although it’s not even been a week and Iv been successful in germinating 5 apple seeds straight from the Apple (which are currently in damp kitchen roll inside a freezer bag stored in the fridge for the last 3-4 weeks!) they will need potting very soon ? I’m not a green finger by any means but I enjoy attempting some veg/fruit (the easier stuff). I look forward to seeing your sunflowers over the coming weeks/months. It’s also very kind of you to be sharing your unused sunflower seeds, the little miniature ones sound nice…Iv not heard of them before. Happy flowering ?
