Sunflowers

Hello Everyone

I've been planting Sunflowers around the garden but as soon as they come through the seedlings are being eaten by snails or slugs so i planted some in pots in the greenhouse and they are about 1 foot tall is it safe to plant them out now or should i wait till the end of the month.

Thanks

Baz

    Hi baza, I would harden them off first then plant them out, I would harden them off for 1 to 2 weeks! Then plant them out!

    They will be slug food again whenever you put them out. Protect them with plastic bottles with the top and bottom cut out.
