Sowed mine last weekend, moonwalker came up first. I always have trouble with dwarf sunflowers germinating, this years no exception, only one has popped it's head up.
Looking good Lulu mine have just grown there 2nd pair of leaves so I will be putting them into bigger pots tomorrow I will plant mine in the garden when there about a foot just to be safe, this is my first time growing them I can't wait for them to flower
There a good size Bluebaron Also I've read on here a few times that beer works wonders get a glass or pot and fill it half full with beer this attracks the slugs and drowns them I will be trying this my self
I don't like to leave them until they're too big as the stems seem to be weaker and more likely to snap. I just so plenty so when some are inevitably eaten I'm not not bothered.
I bought some more sunflower seeds the other day, just because I needed them!!! I now have 4 different varieties sown but only did them on Sunday, all in my GH so will expect to see some sign of new life in about a week - 10 days. Sunflowers are the one thing I have managed to grow successfully in the past and I love them, almost as much as Orchids and Daffodils

I sowed these on 11th March don't know when I should plant them out. I've got some more seeds
which I think I'll plant straight out in the ground
Got mine in the ground. Just looking to avoid Slugs which have already eaten my
brussels!
Planted my sunflowers yesterday; Single Giant type. I do love them and so do the birds.

I sow mine into where i want them to grow near the end of may and get good results with them.
