I'm really surprised because all but one of the seeds we planted now have shoots :-)

I find the weakling, bottom right, unacceptable.

Don’t dismiss the bottom right WS. I had two pots which did nothing and I had planned to put another seed in each but NGATI. I continued to water them and over a week later one has just started to sprout 🌱

Just seen Monty Don say sow your sunflowers THIS weekend.

What a loser 😁

He was following my lead :) I have a leftover packet so I might die some indoors as a backup. Who knows what the weather will do next?

Sow, not die. Predictive text telling me not to bother? :)

I've optimistically buried around 30 seeds from a pack labelled "Little Leo" in all purpose compost in a cardboard egg box inside a lasagne dish and put it on the windowsill. I'll try to remember to water it occasionally. "Little Dorrit" will get the same treatment when eL Bee! has eaten another eleven eggs.

Keep the compost moist and all will be good :-)
