Alice the Camel Mar 2022 9:57am, 16 Mar 2022 10,283 posts	0 Alice the Camel I normally grow Russian Giant but I’m not sure that’s appropriate this year
bigleggy Mar 2022 10:48am, 16 Mar 2022 6,932 posts	0 bigleggy Me too Alice, but I've bought American Giant. I just hope that means height and not girth Also, in case you didn't know - The Sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine. So another reason to be growing this year me thinks Can't decided if this weekend is too early to start or not..........
