just thought i would post a pic of my sunflowers i planted from seed this year.

its the first time i have planted seeds outside so i am really chuffed.

its also a great way of getting rid of my old soil rather than binning it

Hi dave meggie

Them is some huuuuge sunflowers. How long did they take to grow that large from seed?

hi there nav,

i planted them about the end of may but we have had lots and lots of rain so there a good size but not sure if they will show there flowers in time.

one of them has 2 heads (well 1 big and 1 little one).

s monkey where roughly do u live maybe u get better sun than me.

if only my mj plants had stalks that i would be laughing

I like sunflowers!

Me and Elzzar have a bit of an informal competition over the Sunflowers every year.
This year........... strangely ........... Mine flowered at about 3 feet tall and his are still bloody growing....

I suspect the bugger swapped my seeds for dwarf Sunflowers. He laughs every time he sees them.

now thats what i call a sunflower, thats a cracker oldtimer is it yours.

so do u think mine have enough time to open up or maybe too late now.

Last year - with the good summer - sunflowers were still just opening in Lancashire in October.

This year - if the weather warms and improves as we move to autumn - you stand a reasonable chance.

Blessings, Puck
