TALLEST SUNFLOWER AND LARGEST SUNFLOWER HEAD 2018

How disappointing. Can you not put some form of cover over the seeds or relocate to an internal windowsill? Our utility room has now become the second greenhouse Husband keeps saying no more seeds ! So I have to sneak them in and rearrange everything

 

No feeling like it. I started peas earlier this year and I was left with casings.
Luckily, still plenty of time to sow more. Good luck

 

Sunflower seeds sown in 21 x 80mm Fibre pots (set inside flexi pots to prevent drying out) now in heated propagators. This method eliminates root disturbance.

 

Like the idea of setting them inside flexi pots to avoid drying out. Great idea

 

Hi Kaz guess i could put them in what will be a summer house eventually, i planted some more in a bucket and only half fulled it with soil hope they cant get in it, i will have to do more work in the greenhouse and stop them getting in,

They dug my seeds up recently luckily a fair few have survived, yes i popped some more in but don't know what they are as there out of bird food, i was more upset about my red ones i will have to pick some more up.

 

I meant to post an image, but my phone was inside charging. I use this method with (giant)Sunflowers, (long) Runner Beans, (tall) Sweetcorn and some Squashes when I want to start them early in a propagator, then either plant out in open ground, or pot on (into deep 'rose' pot) without any root disturbance if conditions still aren't right.

 

@martin-f don't mess about with them mate...no sympathy what so ever

 

@Tinker86 yours are doing well

 

hi Gail hope all is well , its been quite without you i thought i had gone deaf for the first few days .

 

Ado Mate...just been rough and for asking but missed you all and the banter ...i can soon bring your hearing back to life

Show no mercy where the mice are concerned eating your plants

 

Hope your feeling better Gail, i cant hurt them its my own fault for not having it secured, only time i would bother if they got in the house as they have on two occasions.

 

Recovering Martin from kidney problems ....why don't you buy one of those plug in sensors if you have no other pets in the home...as my sister had mice getting in her home and she brought a couple and they soon went...they give off a load buzzing noise apparently

 

Hope things are better soon , i don't need anything one two occasions in five years they got in they was dealt with asap ive since blocked every hole i can see and had no issues for the last two years,

They can do as they please outside i don't mind them nice little things but if they come indoors there doomed.

 

Martin that as made me laugh mate....doomed ASAP

 

Yes, we’ve missed you @Gail_68. Glad ur back
